“The Directive improves the reliability and transparency of #greenclaims and #sustainabilitylabels. It encourages businesses to adopt more sustainable practices and prevents #earlyobsolescence and #greenwashing. It also ensures that shoppers have access to better information on a product’s durability and repairability, as well as on their legal guarantee rights.”
