On behalf of the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), ConPolicy, together with co2online, is investigating the availability and quality of sustainability information in German-speaking online retail. The aim of the project is to identify gaps in the information situation and to develop recommendations for action in order to better support consumers in selecting sustainable, durable and repairable products.
The project analyzes the status quo of digital information offerings and focuses on sustainability aspects such as repair options and second-hand products. In addition, the existing UBA environmental tips will be strengthened, and concrete measures will be developed to improve the visibility and dissemination of the information.
