Jurisdiction
For products sold in EU
Law Summary
This Directive updates EU consumer law to combat greenwashing. It bans generic environmental claims (e.g., ‘eco-friendly’) without proof, claims based solely on offsetting, and regulates sustainability labels to ensure consumers receive clearer, more reliable information, including on product durability and repairability.
Law Obligation
- Companies must provide clear information about product durability and repairability.
- Organizations must disclose early obsolescence practices in products.
- Businesses must verify environmental claims before marketing.
