What does “papierfrei” mean?
The term claims the avoidance of paper and implies an environmental benefit. It is only permissible with a concrete, verifiable reference; it becomes especially misleading where a paper component does not occur in comparable offerings anyway. Without a substantiated reference point the claimed advantage remains unclear.
Why this term is risky
Free-of claims are misleading where the named substance is not present in comparable products anyway or is already legally banned – this suggests an advantage that every product in the category shares. Such claims remain permissible only where the absence is genuinely relevant and can be substantiated.
