Generic environmental claim
plastikreduziert
Soggetto a provaAffermazioni ambientali generiche ammesse solo con prova riconosciuta.
What does “plastikreduziert” mean?
The claim asserts reduced plastic use compared to a usually unnamed predecessor or market standard. As a general environmental claim it is only permitted under the EmpCo Directive with concrete, recognised and publicly accessible evidence. Without a quantified baseline and a clear comparison misleading advertising is likely.
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

The stated legal basis is an assessment, not a conclusively reviewed legal opinion and not individual legal advice.
