And it is beyond redesigning eco-friendly system as it is providing eco-friendly products to the society.

Greenwashing is a process in which large manufacturing organization label products as green or eco-friendly to increase their sales even though the product itself does not live up to those labels, that means these products are not eco-friendly.

Volkswagen was one of the renowned brands which use the greenwashing marking techniques to promote and boost their sales. But afterwards it was caught and till now it was one of the biggest examples of greenwashing. Volkswagen claims and advertises that they are using some device through which they can reduce pollution of the vehicle but this was not true and later on it was identified by many agencies that it is not true so they were caught.
