Frequently asked questions about sustainability in the food industry
What is ECGT and why is it relevant to sustainability claims?
ECGT (Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition) is the European directive that prohibits vague or unsubstantiated sustainability claims (“green”, “eco”, “environmentally friendly” without substantiation). Every sustainability claim on a product must now be demonstrable and verifiable, with evidence that can be provided on request.
What is the difference between a sustainability certificate and a sustainability claim?
A certificate is a verification by an independent, accredited party against a recognised standard. A claim is a statement that the company itself places on the packaging or in its communications. Since ECGT, every self-declared claim must be just as well substantiated as a certificate, even though it is not externally verified.
What role does the PPWR play in sustainable packaging?
The PPWR gradually (2026-2030) introduces stricter recyclability and reuse criteria for packaging, making it one of the most important concrete drivers behind more sustainable packaging choices in the sector.
How does AMNorman support companies with sustainability reporting?
By assessing sustainability claims and certificates against applicable legislation (ECGT, PPWR), identifying greenwashing risks and helping to substantiate claims with verifiable evidence.
