Certain substances, toxins and plastics have undesirable effects on our body, and can cause allergies, headaches, respiratory problems etc.

Over the years, laws and associations have evolved with the implementation of standards and labels which allow consumers to indicate the presence of harmful products for health.

Unfortunately, acontrol utures cannot verify that all imported and sold wallpapers sold on the internet respect the NORMy CE.

Here is the list of standards and labels to be checked when purchasing wallpaper:

- THIS
- Print

- FSC

It is essential to check the company's identity card. TOuts French companies must respect the EC standard.

An unstalling wallpaper, it is first of all a compaction of vegetable fibers (Wood chips). Wood and deforestation is a major issue for our ecosystem. It is better to choose a wallpaper printed on a durably managed forest paper, in other words: Labeled PEFC or FSC.

The inks used for printing (on any type of support) contain high toxicity components; It is not for nothing that empty ink cartridges should go to specific boxes for their "recycling".

These components (iron oxide, aluminum, arsenic, etc.) contaminate soils and represent a threat to our health.

It is therefore essential to choose a printed wallpaper:
