How to check this before you buy
1Look for "LEED Certification" on the pack or the Amazon UK listing itself, not just in the brand's marketing.
2Ask whether the claim is backed by a named standard or independent body, or is just a description.
3Check whether the claim covers the exact product and size you're buying, not only the wider brand.
4Compare at least two alternatives on Pickly before deciding.
