Greenwashing или псевдомаркировки
«Одна из основных задач, которую мы ставим перед собой- борьба с гринвошингом, то есть псевдо маркировками. Порой стыдно за крупного производителя материалов, ставящего на свою упаковку некий, придуманный отделом маркетинга «зеленый» значок, это нецивилизованно, безответственно и неэтично перед потребителем».
