What does “kreislauffähig” mean?
The term presents a product as fully returnable into material cycles. As a general environmental claim the EmpCo Directive requires concrete, recognised and publicly accessible evidence that the return is practically possible within the existing system. Without proven collection and recovery routes the assertion stays vague and can mislead.
Why this term is risky
Blanket, unspecific environmental claims without concrete, verifiable evidence are considered misleading where no recognised outstanding environmental performance is demonstrated. They remain permissible only with concrete, publicly accessible proof – such as a recognised certification.
Legal basis
Anhang I Nr. 4a UGP-RL i.d.F. EmpCo (EU) 2024/825 (allgemeine Umweltaussage) / § 5 UWG
The stated legal basis is an assessment, not a conclusively reviewed legal opinion and not individual legal advice.
