Shein Fine Highlights India's Crackdown on Greenwashing

Companies are getting in trouble for making their products seem more eco-friendly than they are, a practice called greenwashing.

Fashion company Shein got fined in Italy for saying their clothes were sustainable when they weren't.

India is also cracking down on greenwashing, making it illegal to falsely advertise environmental benefits.

Companies can get fined big money for this.

Now, businesses are starting to be more honest, using clear and specific claims about things like how they package their products.

This shift is happening because consumers are paying more attention and want proof that companies are really helping the environment.
