While I am against green washing, there is a reason companies do that vs going with the alternative. You can expect prices of goods to go up very quickly in the near future.
This is peak "I don't understand what this is about, buti still have an opinion".
Companies are paying for a fake seal of greeness. The law will not allow fake green washing, so companies will stop spending money on it. Surely prices should go down, right?
Surely you can show me an example of this fake seal of greeness? I work on several sustainability teams, but I don't know what I am talking about. I would love if you showed me.
This is an example for greenwashing which this law wants to prevent:
