Can plastic bottles biodegrade?
A plastic-bottle supplier and two bottled-water companies are being accused by a state official of “greenwashing” by falsely claiming their products are biodegradable.
State Attorney General Kamala Harris Wednesday filed a lawsuit against ENSO Plastics, Balance and AquaMantra that allegedly made false and misleading claims by marketing plastic water bottles as “100 percent biodegradable and recyclable.”
The lawsuit, filed in Orange County Superior Court, is the first action to enforce a 2008 state law that banned the use of words such as “biodegradable” in marketing plastic food and beverage containers. The Legislature determined that such claims are inherently misleading to consumers.
ENSO Plastics President Danny Clark said that he is unable to comment on the lawsuit at this time. He said that the company is committed to working with Harris and complying with the state’s labeling law.
