5、    Consumers are being confused and misled by the environmental claims(聲稱)made by household products，according to a  green labeling(標(biāo)簽)”study published by Consumers International Friday.

    Among the report’s more outrageous(令人無法容忍的)finding―a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly”，a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting”. and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”.

    The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council(NCC)for lobby group Consumers International. It was supported by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission. “While many good and useful claims are being made，it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring that shoppers are well informed about the environmental influence of products they buy，”said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.

    The 10-country study examined product packaging in Britain，Western Europe，Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average. The report focused on claims made by specific products，such as detergent(洗滌劑)and garden products. It did not test the claims，but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO).

    Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2，000 products and found many unclear or too misleading to meet ISO standards.

    “Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims，while paints were third on out list with 73. The high numbers show how confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading，”said report researcher Philip Page.

    The ISO labeling standards ban unclear or misleading claims on product packaging，because terms such as “environmentally friendly’’ and ”non-polluting” cannot be proved. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO，”said Page.
