"100% eco-friendly" tertulis atas box — tapi bila tanya proof, supplier senyap. Banyak label hijau palsu kat pasaran sekarang, operator cafe susah nak bezakan claim betul vs marketing kosong. 
breakdown 4 eco-claim paling common — apa maksud sebenar, apa proof nak tanya.
4 Eco-Claim Kena Tanya
1. "Recyclable" — betul ke boleh recycle dekat Malaysia? Recyclable means material boleh diproses semula — TAPI kat Malaysia infrastruktur recycle terhad. Tanya: "Paper grade berapa? Ada PE-lining ke?" Kraft tanpa coating senang recycle; PE-lined perlukan facility khas (rare kat sini). Box dengan foil atau plastik berlapis susah — end up landfill juga.
2. "Compostable" vs "Biodegradable" — beza besar. Biodegradable cuma pecah jadi smaller pieces over time (boleh ambil bertahun-tahun, tinggal microplastic). Compostable means pecah jadi organic matter dalam industrial composting facility (~180 hari, certified standard macam EN13432). Tanya: "Compostable cert ada? Home-compost ke industrial?" Kalau takde cert, jangan percaya.
3. "PFAS-free" — chemical coating apa ganti? PFAS (forever chemicals) banned ramai negara sebab toxic. Tapi alternatif pun ada yang bahaya. Tanya: "Grease-barrier pakai apa? Water-based ke wax?" Supplier legit akan jawab terus.
4. "Made in [Country]" — factory cert apa? Origin label tak guarantee sustainable practice. Tanya: "ISO 14001 ada? GMP? HACCP?" Factory certs tunjuk process control betul — bukan sekadar claim kosong.
Test sebenar: supplier yang transparent akan share proof terus — spec sheet, cert copy, third-party audit. Kalau mengular, red flag. Your cafe's eco-reputation depends on packaging yang honestly sustainable, bukan label cantik sahaja.
