's competition watchdog has taken the manufacturer of GLAD bags to court over allegations it made false or misleading claims products were partly made of recycled ocean plastic.The ACCC has claimed Clorox represented that its GLAD kitchen tidy bags and garbage bags were comprised of 50 per cent recycled ocean plastic collected from an ocean or sea "when that was not the case".
"We are concerned that, by its alleged conduct, Clorox deprived consumers of the opportunity to make informed purchasing decisions, and may have put other businesses making genuine environmental claims at an unfair disadvantage."Increasingly consumers choose the products they buy based on their environmental impact, and in doing so they must be able to rely on the environmental claims made by businesses being accurate.
