Natural building materials for Europe

Natureplus, the German quality mark, is now to be promoted throughout Europe. It is expected that liaison centres will take up their work in Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and Italy before the end of this current year. This certification label for ecological building materials will be presented to the Italian specialist public for the first time at the SAIE building trade fair on 17 October 2002. A further official appearance is also in the offing, in the form of a workshop at the 11th European Ecological Building Symposium in Brussels on 4 and 5 November 2002.
