Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built GreenClaims Scanner because I watched a client almost get flagged by an EU regulator for using the phrase "eco-friendly" without third-party certification. That's it. That's the whole backstory. Here's what's actually happening in the EU right now: the Green Claims Directive (ECGT) becomes enforceable in September 2026. Companies that make vague environmental claims on their websites — things like "sustainable", "green", "carbon neutral", "eco-friendly" — will be required to back them up with independent third-party certification or face fines of up to 4% of annual turnover. No warning period. No grace period after enforcement starts. The problem? Most marketing teams have no idea which claims are now problematic. Legal teams aren't reading ECGT articles for fun. And until now, the only dedicated tool in this space — Greenifs.ai — quietly shut down, leaving a gap nobody filled. So I filled it. The tech: GreenClaims Scanner uses ClimateBERT, a transformer model fine-tuned on 2 million+ climate and sustainability texts. It doesn't just match keywords — it reads context. A phrase like "FSC-certified wood" passes. "We use sustainable materials" (no cert, no evidence) fails. The scan maps each flagged claim to a specific article of the ECGT directive, so your legal team has something actionable. What's free: 3 scans/day, forever. No account needed. Paste a URL, get results in 30 seconds. What's in the paid tiers: weekly monitoring alerts, PDF compliance reports, REST API, and the embeddable compliance badge (live on your site, auto-updates with each re-scan). I'd genuinely love feedback on the detection accuracy and the report format. What would make this useful for your workflow? 🌱
