Consumer protection is now the talk of the town since the occurrence of the so-called mad-cow disease and the spreading of foot and mouth disease, after the insights into the misuse of medicines in livestock fattening and other “scandals” in food production.

This applies particularly to the supply of hygienically pure drinking water. The most famous symbol for ecologically recommended products of every day life is certainly the “Blue Angel”, the German eco-label. The number of product groups that have been given this label grew once again this year.
