The European Union provides a free database accessible to anyone that allows consumers to verify whether the eco-friendly claims of appliances are true. This platform works as a transparency tool to help citizens make more informed choices.
The platform already brings together more than one million products, allowing consumers to compare the environmental performance of different appliances available in the European market.
The goal of this initiative is to combat "greenwashing", meaning the practice of companies exaggerating or falsifying the environmental benefits of their products to attract environmentally conscious consumers.
With this tool, consumers can make more informed purchasing decisions, avoiding being deceived by false or exaggerated environmental claims.
