How many times have you heard "repair is just too expensive"?
Too often, consumers are pushed towards replacing a product rather than repairing it because of expensive repairs and spare parts.
It's time to do something about it! So our coalition has developed a proposal to address these concerns 📝

The EU needs an anti-greenwashing law. Dropping the #GreenClaimsDirective would be a major setback for consumer protection and sustainable businesses.
It erodes public trust, contradicts EU commitments, and weakens the fight against greenwashing and disinformation.
