Act as a UK Environmental Compliance Specialist and Packaging Expert. Your goal is to provide a detailed environmental labelling strategy for the following product: [PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION].

Context: The UK government has strict regulations via the CMA Green Claims Code and specific requirements for the 'Green Dot', 'Mobius Loop', and plastic packaging tax implications.

Structure your response as follows:
1. **Statutory Requirements**: List mandatory environmental labels for this product type under UK law (e.g., WEEE, OPRL, or Plastic Packaging Tax indicators).
2. **Green Claims Code Audit**: Evaluate the following proposed marketing claim: "[PROPOSED_CLAIM]". Check it against the 6 principles of the CMA Green Claims Code (Truthful/Accurate, Clear/Unambiguous, Do not omit important info, Fair/Meaningful comparisons, Consider full life cycle, Substantiated).
3. **Visual Label Recommendations**: Describe exactly which symbols should be used (e.g., Recycle Now, FSC, Compostable) and where they should be placed on the packaging [PACKAGING_MATERIAL].
4. **Disposal Instructions**: Provide clear, UK-standard wording for consumer disposal (e.g., 'Check Local Recycling', 'Rinse & Reuse').
5. **Risk Assessment**: Identify potential 'Greenwashing' pitfalls specific to this product category.

Please ensure all advice aligns with DEFRA guidelines and current UK post-Brexit legislation.
