The guide—designed to combat deliberate "greenwashing"—contains a database that lists participating suppliers who have had their sustainability claims reviewed by an authorized Greener Package third-party reviewer. The guide will also address the far more common problem of different interpretations of terms such as "recyclable," "compostable," "natural," "eco-friendly," "sustainable," etc.
