The FTC’s Guides for the Use of Environmental Claims cover how words like biodegradable, recyclable, and environmentally friendly can be used in ads. In addition, some states have laws governing environmental claims. Check with the attorney general’s office of the states where you plan to advertise. The phone numbers are in the Consumer’s Resource Handbook.
