Report – Unbottling greenwashing: Lifting the lid on plastic bottle recycling claims

Misleading claims on bottles of water packaged in single-use plastics claim that they are “100% recyclable” and/or “made of 100% recycled plastic”. ECOS and ClientEarth are supporting The European Consumer Voice (BEUC) in an external alert to the European Commission and the European network of consumer authorities (CPC-Network) reporting several traders using such misleading claims.
Too green to be true? Consumer and green groups call for action against potentially misleading recycling claims

Labels claiming that plastic water bottles are ‘100% recycled’ and/or ‘100% recyclable’ can be misleading. A coalition of consumer rights, legal, and environmental organisations seek to put an end to the proliferation of such claims.
