The claim has been raised by the EU consumer protection organisation Bureau Europ\u00e9en des Unions de Consommateurs (BEUC) \u2013 supported by ClientEarth and the Environmental Coalition on Standards (ECOS) \u2013 to the European Commission and the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network against the companies due to a \u201csuspected infringement of consumer protection law\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The group contends that the claims displayed on bottles are incorrect and suggest to consumers that plastic bottles can be recycled in an infinite, circular loop. Lawyers claim that these declarations, frequently accompanied by &#8216;green&#8217; symbols and general environmental slogans, could potentially give consumers a mistaken impression that single-use bottles are an &#8216;eco-friendly&#8217; option.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA \u2018100%\u2019 recycling rate for bottles is technically not possible and, just because bottles are made with recycled plastic, does not mean they don\u2019t harm people and planet. Of course, where waste can be recycled, consumers should keep up their good work. Recycling is less harmful than other disposal methods, such as incineration or landfill. But it is important companies don&#8217;t portray recycling as a silver bullet to the plastic crisis &#8211; instead they need to focus efforts on reducing plastic at source.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/coca-cola-nestl-and-danone-face-legal-complaint-misleading-100-cent-recycling-claims\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-429\/\">Coca-cola, Nestl\u00e9 and Danone face legal complaint for misleading \u2018100 per cent\u2019 recycling claims<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2848,7472,575,3594],"class_list":["post-118607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-coca-cola","tag-danone","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-nestle"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118607\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
