The NBF has released a new free best practice guide for claims related to chemicals in products. This guide is designed to help you better understand the chemicals used in mattresses, explaining key terminology and covering transparency on product labelling, sustainability and green claims, and chemical content. Please share with any relevant colleagues.
The Competitions and Market Authority (CMA) has published a guidance document to help businesses comply with consumer protection law when making green claims. In our overview document, we have also included examples of greenwashing across industries.
Packaging EPR places the full cost of managing packaging waste on producers, applies across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and covers all packaging you place on the UK market or import. 2026 sees the introduction of obligations for smaller producers. Download our guidance document for details.
