Sessions

Session #1
Moving Target: The Fluctuation of Environmental Claims and Labeling Guidance
Tuesday, September 24
1pm ET / 10am PT

Presenter: Sheila Millar, Keller and Heckman

Do you understand why some companies face greenwashing challenges and others don’t? This webinar will walk registrants through a comprehensive examination of applicable laws and legislation governing packaging claim and labeling. We will highlight potential conflicts and contradictions within the regulatory frameworks and guide attendees through the substantiation requirements crucial for supporting and defending such claims, while evaluating their business impacts. In the face of California's “truth in labeling law” (SB 343), potential FTC Green Guides updates, and numerous legal lawsuits, this session is not to be missed!

Session #2
Legislative Pathways: State or Federal?
Tuesday, October 29
1pm ET / 10am PT

Presenter: Joe Dages, Steptoe & Johnson

Did you know there is not a standard federal definition for recycling, recyclable or compostable in the U.S.? Despite the FTC Green Guides helping to provide a common interpretation, states can set their own definitions. As a result, what is deemed recyclable in one state may not be in another. In this webinar, we will discuss federal legislative proposals to help provide standardized definitions in order to bring about greater clarity and harmonization on packaging pathways for end of life.

Session #3
Recommendations for Applying On-Pack Claims and Labels in 2025 and Beyond
Tuesday, November 12
1pm ET / 10am PT

Presenters: Alex Truelove, BPI; Paul Nowak, How2Recycle; Rishi Banerjee, Smart Label

With all the legislative proposals examining packaging claims and labels, what does this mean for popular labeling programs like How2Recycle and Smart Label? Join a panel of presenters to learn more about using these programs and how they anticipate some of the pending legislative proposals may interplay with their programs.
