Adopting environment-friendly practices is an increasing focus in the agricultural and industrial sectors and the use of products such as biodegradable grease is an important tool in furthering the aim of creating a toxic-free environment.

Swedish bearing and seal manufacturer SKF recently announced that its LGGB 2 biodegradable grease has been granted EU Ecolabel Certification. 

The low toxicity lubricating grease is specifically suited for applications where contamination of soil and water is an important consideration and is ideal for use in agricultural, construction and earthmoving equipment as well as in water treatment plants.

“The certification was achieved following months of rigorous testing and evaluation of our LGGB 2 grease, from environmental impact and sourcing of the product’s packaging material to our manufacturing processes,” explains SKF product manager: MaPro Eddie Martens.

The EU Ecolabel is said to represent the new standard for biodegradable products and recognises the product’s contribution to decreasing negative impacts on biodiversity and minimised use of harmful substances. EU Ecolabel Lubricant products meet numerous criteria that guarantee reduced impact on soil, air and the aquatic environment during use, reduced CO2 emissions, incorporation of a high percentage of renewable raw materials and a limited use of hazardous substances.                                    

The multi-criteria EU Ecolabel covers a range of industrial and consumer goods, tackling the main environmental impacts of products along their full lifecycle, from extraction of raw material to disposal. The process also assesses the product’s chemical composition.
