European companies in the hospitality industry will be faced with new policies impacting the business as usual approach to environmental claims and packaging. Join our conversation on the upcoming Green Claims directive and new packaging rules to find out what is changing, when and how you can make the changes .
Description
In the absence of specific rules on claims regarding the ‘green’ nature of products and services, how can consumers be sure that such claims are reliable, comparable, and verifiable throughout the EU? What is happening to take-away containers and what kind of packaging will be allowed for hotel shampoos and dine-in cutlery in the Europe of tomorrow?
