ClientEarth has filed a lawsuit against Nestlé Poland over ‘misleading’ recycled content and recyclability claims made on its Nałęczowianka water bottles.
72% claimed they were more likely to buy a product in plastic packaging if it was said to contain recycled plastic – and 65% considered plastic packaging featuring green logos a positive choice for the environment.
ClientEarth argues that the recyclability of a plastic water bottle depends on the local infrastructure and national recycling systems.
In ClientEarth’s view, Nestlé Poland is breaching consumer protection law and must stop using these slogans.
