Woolworths reprimanded by ACCC for ‘deceptive’ advertising on eco picnic products
The consumer watchdog has announced plans to take court action against supermarket giant Woolworths for allegedly providing “false, misleading or deceptive” environmental representations about its ‘W Select eco’ picnic product range.
Between November 2014 and November 2017, Woolworths indicated on its packaging that disposable bowls, plates and cutlery in the ‘W Select eco’ range were both “biodegradable and compostable”.
