Define Greenwashing

Not sure if this is appropriate to this example, but these paper/cardboard wrappings can save on plastic: The inner container can be made thinner and is generally easier to recycle, as there is no need for printability or pretty finishes (not saying that they are being recycled, but they could).
- If the bottle label wasn't intentionally mislieading it wouldn't be a good example of greenwashing.
  
  The box that the bottle comes in is clearly labeled with steps how to take the paper casing off to recycle. It is even precut to separate that way. The company claimed at the time to have reduced its plastic by 50% this way.
- Besides, how would an all-paper bottle even work? Liquid soap is, well, liquid. Paper soaks through when it's in contact with a liquid. The only other way to do such a bottle would be to use coated paper, which is less recyclable than an inner plastic bottle.
  
  Wax. Waxed cardboard is recyclable. And biodegradable. Only reason wax paper is generally not considered recyclable is because it's used for food, where it gets contaiminated.
  
  You don't have milk cartons in your country? Come to think of it, I'm not sure the US does any longer. OJ and other drinks can still be had in cartons.
- People in internet are extremist, you are either full of something or none :)
  
  Im an extremest "No the glass is at precisely half capacity. I meticulously found a geometric proof to show its the fill line is exactly at half of the glass. I counted the fucking molecules one at a time and statistically compared them with a full glass and a empty glass. Its half, no more no less. Both of your perceptions of the world are deeply warped by internal biases." Kind of guy myself. Or in Lemmy speak, a FiLtHy CeNtaRist!!!

Seriously, this should be a criminal offense.
Send the CEO of this company to jail for a year for this shit, see how fast it stops
Why TF is it that if I cheat, fraud, steal, I go to jail but of a company does it it's at best a long-lasting draw out court case that ends in a settlement that costs the company a few cents on the dollar they made?
I'm so so so SO tired of this
Fuck protections for companies. If you wilfully fuck people over, if you steal or cheat, you go to jail, PERIOD. If that means you don't want to start a company anymore, good riddance. There are more than enough people who happily run companies without cheating
- Exactly this. My whole life I've been told that executives deserve their massive compensation because of all the high risk decisions they make. But if they ever get called out they take no responsibility. It's infuriating!
  
  Executive: 'my manager said so'
  Manager: 'my director said so'
  Director: 'my VP said so'
  VP: 'the CEO said so'
  CEO: 'tye management board said so'
  Management board: 'it was a collective decision, so no one is to blame'
  Corporate unaccountability at its finest.
- I think we should also introduce death penalty for companies. Did a company commit a serious enough crime ? Then we just kill it. Is does not deserve to exist anymore.
  
  This this this this this. Corporations are people when their "speech" needs to be protected via campaign bribery, but not when they kill people in the name of profit. Fuck. That. Shit.
  
  Better yet make it a public entity or employee owned
  
  Why punish the company when it was the people inside the company that did the wrong thing? Punish the people and let another batch fix it.
- Take a look at the other comments. The other side of the bottle states it helps reduce the amount of plastic required on the inside bottle by 50%, while making things easier to recycle.
  Unfortunately that detail doesnt fit on one side, the only side the imager taker chose to show.
  
  Yeah I did some digging and it seems well-intended but its just done really poorly and misleading. From what I can tell, because of the paper outer protective layer, they were able to use a lighter plastic layer on the inside layer reducing the amount of plastic used. If not for the plastic on the inside, I don't know how you'd really keep the bottle from disintegrating from all the liquid inside.
  I do think that they were lying about not seeing how people could misinterpret what they thought they were saying with the bottle. Obviously some people are going to look at something saying "This is a paper bottle" and think that means the whole bottle is paper. I would've assumed some sort of chemical/hydrophobic coating on the inside which might not be great for the environment either. But them saying they didn't expect people to misinterpret it is dumb.
  
  Omission of details in this image can be slightly misleading. However branding the container as “Paperbottle” is much more misleading by an order of magnitude.
  Product labeling is almost pointless. Especially if it can be missed by a photographer.
  Neither is right, but one is definitely more wrong

This product is called 'paper bottle' to make it easier to explain the role of paper labels wrapping outside of the bottle," a spokesperson for Innisfree said.
"However we understand that the entire container can be seen as paper material because of the product name. We are deeply sorry for the confusion caused and will try to deliver more accurate information to you."
- This is Olympic-tier doublespeak. Fuck this company.

Some scooby doo shit right there

Look... just make it out of plastic! This actually only makes the problem worse. If you want to recycle, it makes it MUCH harder since they need to remove the outer paper cover. Both cannot be together in a recycling plant.

  Orange who?
