Restricted claim
“Green”
Is “Green” allowed under the EU Green Claims Directive (2024/825)?
Medium-risk claim Generic environmental
Why it is restricted
“Green” is the textbook generic claim: no scope, no metric, no verification. It is also a colour and a common proper noun, so a match here is a prompt to look, not a conclusion — check whether the word is doing any environmental work in the sentence.
Say this instead
Replace with the specific attribute you can evidence, e.g. "Dyed without heavy metals (ZDHC MRSL Level 3)."
In English
