To qualify for the Flower label, campsites have to comply with stringent environmental criteria, including requirements with respect to:
- Energy consumption
- Water consumption and wastewater treatment
- Waste production and separation
- Favouring the use of renewable resources
- Training of staff to ensure compliance with the environmental criteria
- Information about its environmental policy
In addition to the above mandatory criteria, the Flower defines a set of optional criteria with a points system, including with respect to the use of eco-labelled detergents and paper, organic food, and maintaining the site without using insecticides. It is up to each campsite to select the optional criteria it wishes to comply with in order to score the required number of ‘eco-points’ to be awarded the Flower label.
You get the same facilities
A Flower-labelled campsite offers exactly the same facilities as a comparable unlabelled site; it just adds a green edge to your camping holiday.
