Environmental Packaging: U.S. Guide To Green Labeling, Packaging And Recycling

Green marketing has become much more competitive and is subject to increasingly complex technical considerations. U.S. and international standards are currently being developed that would restrict green marketing claims, and around the world industry is facing expanded ecolabeling programs, as well as "takeback" requirements for products and packaging.

Environmental Packaging keeps you one step ahead of the complex and evolving green marketing trend.

The Guide tracks new developments in ISO 14000 environmental management standards, life cycle assessment, labeling, procurement and manufacturers' responsibility, all of which have implications for U.S. industry, as well as for international trade.

Stay on top of: state-by-state regulations on recycled and toxicity content, disposal bans and environmental marketing claims; EPA & FTC guidelines; environmental certification systems; international standards and enforcement.

Environmental Packaging is actually two valuable resources in one, a monthly newsletter and a manual. The newsletter keeps you current on the latest domestic and international marketing trends; and the manual, with monthly update pages, consolidates all the information you need.
