Deceptive packaging is under attack

What are "cheat packs"?

A "cheat pack" is packaging that pretends to have more content than it actually does. This can deceive consumers and constitute an infringement of competition law. The German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) recently ruled that a package is misleading if the packaging is not in proportion to the amount it contains, especially if it is only two-thirds full. thirds full.

 

Violations of the ban on deceptive packaging in accordance with Section 43 (2) MessEG are considered unfair competition in accordance with Section 3a UWG if they significantly affect the interests of consumers. Deviations are only permitted in the case of technical or economic requirements. 

 

 

What is the significance of deceptive packaging in the context of sustainable packaging design?
