Greenwashing is a practice in which a company falsely suggests that its products or services are more environmentally friendly than they really are. Such unfair trade practices are prohibited.

It is important to distinguish genuine eco-friendly initiatives from greenwashing. If a company's claims are backed by genuine and verifiable environmentally friendly efforts, it does not constitute greenwashing.

Greenwashing is a form of deceptive advertising and violates consumer-protection laws against misleading practices.
