Abstract
This paper summarizes the concept of greenwashing, a marketing strategy companies use to make false or exaggerated environmental claims about their products and attract consumers interested in the sustainability of the products they buy. Greenwashing has become more common as consumers have become more environmentally conscious, so companies are trying to capitalize on this trend. However, greenwashing can have negative effects on both consumers and the environment, as it can lead to confusion and mistrust among consumers and encourage the production and consumption of products that are not sustainable. As such, it is important for consumers to be aware of greenwashing and to look for evidence to support companies' environmental claims. Additionally, companies can take steps to be more transparent and honest in their ecological claims, build consumer trust, and promote truly sustainable practices.
