"Eco-friendly" is now illegal unless you can prove it.
Since 27 September 2026, Directive (EU) 2024/825 bans generic environmental claims without recognised excellent performance, bans climate-neutral claims based on offsetting, and requires evidence behind every claim. Check your claims, then seal the evidence behind each one with a public Claim Receipt anyone can verify.

Questions people ask
Which green claims are banned?
Generic environmental claims such as 'environmentally friendly', 'eco' or 'green' without recognised excellent environmental performance; claims that a product has a neutral, reduced or positive impact based on offsetting emissions; sustainability labels not based on a certification scheme or set by public authorities; and presenting legal requirements as a distinctive feature.
When did the rules start?
Directive (EU) 2024/825 applies from 27 September 2026 across the EU.
What about claims about future performance?
Claims such as 'net zero by 2035' need clear, objective, publicly available and verifiable commitments in a detailed and realistic implementation plan, regularly verified by an independent expert.
How do I prove a claim was backed by evidence at the time?
Fingerprint the evidence (reports, certificates, data) and timestamp it in Bitcoin when the claim goes live. sebbi.pro issues a public Claim Receipt linking the claim to its evidence and the date.
