Transparent is the New Green: Risks of Greenwashing
Greenwashing is more than just a cover-up; it is any misleading practice of making false green claims. Greenwashing has many shades, and each of these practices carries potential risks.
EPR Laws: What is Your Responsibility?
New Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws are changing how waste management costs are handled and shifting the financial burden from consumers and municipalities to producers. This legislation requires companies to take responsibility for the entire life cycle of their products. EPR laws are growing in the United States and Europe, covering various product categories, including electronics and textiles. Companies need to know when and how to comply with these new regulations.
Green Imagery-Is it Worth the Risk?
Regulators like the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority are investigating major corporations like Procter & Gamble and Unilever for deceptive marketing tactics. Staying informed about green marketing guidelines can help you truthfully showcase your product’s environmental benefits while protecting your company from legal missteps.
