Swedish term

miljöanpassat

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology
I've seen this translated in a few thousand places as environmentally-adapted. However almost all of these are Swedish cites. I was thinking along the lines of environment-friendly, enviornmentally acceptable, sustainable, etc.
Does anyone have a better idea?

Literally it means adapted to the environment. I don't know which is the best way to translate it, one suggestion is 'environmentally compatible'.
Example sentence:
