EmpCo: environmental claims and labels

How do I word an environmental claim safely?

Name a concrete, measurable property instead of a general effect, and point to the evidence. “Packaging with 85% certified post-consumer recyclate” holds; “environmentally friendly packaging” does not. The specification has to appear clearly and prominently on the same medium as the claim itself.
