Consumers are being confused and misled by the environmental claims(声称)made by household products,according to a“green labeling(标签)”study published by Consumers International Friday.
Among the report’s more outrageous(令人无法容忍的)finding—a German fertilizer described itself as“earthworm friendly”,a brand of flour said it was“non-polluting”.and a British toilet paper claimed to be“environmentally friendlier”.
The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council(NCC)for lobby group Consumers International.It was supported by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“While many good and useful claims are being made,it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring that shoppers are well informed about the environmental influence of products they buy,”said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.
The 10-country study examined product packaging in Britain,Western Europe,Scandinavia and the United States.It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products,such as detergent(洗涤剂)and garden products.It did not test the claims,but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO).
Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many unclear or too misleading to meet ISO standards.
