How to Legally Prove Your Eco-Claims Without Hiring an Army of Auditors
Your brand spent two years and thousands of euros redesigning a product. You finally achieved a supply chain that uses 100% recycled plastics. The accredited auditor came, inspected the facility, and handed you a pristine Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certificate.
You proudly print "Made with 100% Recycled Plastic" on your product box.
Under the new EU Green Claims Directive, you are still at risk of a massive fine. Why? Because having the proof in a filing cabinet is no longer enough. The law explicitly mandates that the substantiation for your claim must be available to the consumer at the point of sale.
