Preventing greenwashing is crucial to maintain consumer trust in products and claims. It is important that environmental claims adhere to established standards to ensure fair competition and market orientation. Therefore, the German Adhesives Association (IVK) supports the European Commission's efforts in addressing this issue. However, we still see a need for improvement to the draft directive in its current form.

What they argued
We welcome that 'green claims' are to be linked to objective requirements and must refer to generally accepted standards, so that comparability is ensured. The fact that environmental information must always verified by external verifiers (Art. 11) though is an unjustified burden for many companies and especially a tough restriction for SMEs.
(English version below.) The industry association for adhesives welcomes the initiative “Micro-plastic pollution — measures to reduce environmental impacts”. We agree with the opinion of the Association of Chemical Industries (VCI) and would like to raise another point that specifically concerns the glue industry.
