Also means
organic
Usage Note
Ecológico can mean both 'relating to ecology' in a scientific sense and 'environmentally friendly' in everyday speech, where it overlaps with sostenible and verde. In food labelling it often signals 'organic' (productos ecológicos) — the same sense covered by orgánico in Latin America. Agrees in gender and number (dieta ecológica).
Examples
"Compran productos ecológicos en el mercado."
