Event Description

The Federal Trade Commission is planning to host a public workshop on April 30, 2008, to examine developments in green packaging claims and consumer perception of such claims. This workshop is one component of the Commission’s regulatory review of the Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims (16 CFR Part 260), which the FTC previously announced in a Federal Register Notice on November 26, 2007. For questions related to the workshop, contact FTC Attorneys Janice Podoll Frankle (202-326-3022), Laura Koss (202-326-2890), or Anne M. McCormick (202-326-3583), Division of Enforcement, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Federal Trade Commission.
