From www.tglaw.com.au: The Federal Court of Australia imposed an A$8.25 million penalty on Clorox Australia Pty Ltd for making misleading claims on its “GLAD to be Green” garbage bags, which falsely suggested they contained ocean-sourced plastic.

The Court found that Clorox’s representations violated multiple sections of the Australian Consumer Law, leading to an injunction against further misleading claims and the requirement to implement compliance measures.

This case represents a significant action aimed at addressing greenwashing and ensuring businesses substantiate their environmental claims.
