What they argued

Substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims (Green Claims Directive)filed 18 Jul 2023PDFsource

For consumers seeking reliable information for their consumption choices, the variety of different eco-labels and schemes may be misleading. The Association of the German Lack- und Printing Ink Industry (VdL) therefore welcomes in principle the European Commission’s efforts to create more transparency in competition with regard to environmental claims and to avoid greenwashing.

Evaluation of the Biocidal Products Regulationfiled 4 Mar 2026source

For paints and varnishes, biocides are very relevant for various applications: for the preservation of water-based products, the protection of façades by film preservatives, wood preservation or antifouling. However, we note that it is becoming increasingly difficult to continue to enable these applications.
