Lesser of Two Evils

StarStarStarStar

Some brands may present a product as 'greener' by comparing it to more harmful alternatives, even though the product is not sustainable on its own merit.

StarStarStarStar

No Proof

StarStarStarStar

Claims of sustainability without available evidence or third-party certification can suggest greenwashing.

StarStarStarStar

Irrelevant Claims

StarStarStarStar

Companies might highlight an environmentally friendly aspect that is actually required by law or industry standards, presenting it as a voluntary, conscious effort.

StarStarStarStar

Eco-Friendly Imagery

StarStarStarStar

Brands may use nature-inspired imagery or green colors on products and in advertising to give the impression of eco-friendliness without substantial sustainable practices.

StarStarStarStar

Fibers that Claim to be 'Eco-Friendly'

StarStarStarStar

Materials may be labeled as 'eco-friendly,' such as bamboo or soy fabrics, without addressing the environmental impact of their production or processing methods.

StarStarStarStar

Hidden Trade-Off

StarStarStarStar

A brand may promote a single green initiative while ignoring other harmful environmental practices. This is a way to deflect from less sustainable aspects of their operation.

StarStarStarStar

Vague Language

StarStarStarStar

Terms like 'eco-conscious' or 'green' can be used vaguely and without clarification to mislead consumers into thinking a product is more sustainable than it is.

StarStarStarStar

Misleading Endorsements

StarStarStarStar

Fashion brands may create fake labels or names that sound like endorsements from recognized environmental organizations to imply third-party validation of their products.

StarStarStarStar

Exaggerated Performance

StarStarStarStar

A product's sustainability is excessively hyped up, with claims of significant environmental benefits without proof, often misleading consumers about the product's true impact.

StarStarStarStar

False Labeling

StarStarStarStar

Products might be labeled with fake certifications, or seals of approval that don't exist, to convey a false impression of third-party endorsement for sustainability.
