SUMMARY:GCA Webinar: EPR Demystified: What U.S. Packaging Laws Mean for Greeting Card Companies

Whether you’re just learning about EPR or already trying to comply\, this session will give you tools to navigate the current and future regulatory landscape. \n  \nMeet Your Speaker!\nAmmi Borenstein\nFounder & CEO\, Snaplinc Consulting \nAmmi Borenstein is the founder of Snaplinc Consulting\, a firm specializing in sustainability compliance and regulatory strategy for consumer product companies.
