What is this? Sampling washed away; “samplewashing?” Greenwashing is a known term nowadays, but is there such a thing as “Samplewashing” too? Yes and no: Greenwashing is the process of conveying a false impression or providing misleading information about how a company’s products are more environmentally sound. … Greenwashing is a play on the term “whitewashing”, which means using misleading information to gloss over bad behaviour. And that is what this sampling paper is all about: presenting moisture results on samples of solid bulk materials where the theory of sampling was not applied… and therefore sampling errors are magnified by not only glossing over the representativeness of the process, but at the same time by watering-down the monetary profits of the trade for one whilst condensing them for the other party. It really is “Samplewashing” when it comes to moisture determination!
