Italy opens greenwashing probe into Shein website

Quick Summary:

Italy’s antitrust agency has launched a probe into a company that operates Shein’s website over possibly misleading environmental claims.

The Italian authority said some information the website gives about Shein’s “evoluSHEIN” collection could mislead consumers about the amount of “green” fabrics used, while also failing to tell them that the garments are not recyclable.

A page from the Shein website is shown in this photo taken in New York on June 23, 2023.
