Better consumer protection against greenwashing and planned obsolescence

New regulations protect consumers from misleading environmental claims (greenwashing) and products designed to break early. Buyers will receive clear information about product durability, free software updates, and the availability and cost of repairs.
Key points
No more empty eco-claims: Vague terms like 'eco' or 'green' are banned unless backed by recognized certification (e.g., EU Ecolabel).
No hidden defects: Businesses cannot hide information about planned product obsolescence or software updates that slow down devices.
Offsetting is not neutrality: Banning claims of 'climate neutrality' based solely on carbon offsetting schemes like planting trees.
Clear guarantee info: Standardized notices in shops will clearly remind consumers of their mandatory, free 2-year legal guarantee.
Easier repairs: Sellers must provide information on the availability and cost of spare parts, as well as repairability scores.
No premature replacements: Banning practices that push consumers to replace consumables (like printer ink) earlier than technically necessary.
