• The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has come out with new guides (www.ftc.gov/opa/2012/10/greenguides.shtm) in regards to environmental claims. Claims of being "green", "recyclable", natural", "organic", biodegradable", and the like are all potentially deceptive if not qualified. The guides are meant to help avoid making claims that are unfair or deceptive to the consumer. We encourage you to read the green guides as written if you are pursuing environmental claims as they relate to your product or package. We can assist you in language and potential qualifiers to use for packaging your product if desired. Please contact us for more information as it relates to a specific need.
