Australians want mandatory appliance labels for energy use, repairability, and durability to combat misleading eco claims.
Australian consumers are frustrated by vague environmental claims on appliances like washing machines and air conditioners, with a report finding nearly half use unverified terms like "eco" or "green."
Over 80% support mandatory government-backed labels for energy use, durability, and repairability—similar to those in Europe—where such systems have improved transparency.
The study, based on 120 store visits and a survey of 1,500 people, shows consumers lack reliable information and often rely on unverified reviews.
Experts and the Productivity Commission back standardized labeling to reduce waste, lower costs, and empower better choices, though final recommendations are pending.
