Cradle-to-cradle meeting

The meeting is a follow-up to the first meeting in July, attended by several large consumer packaged goods companies and prominent packaging suppliers. GreenBlue, the nonprofit that coordinates the meetings, especially encourages those who work in package development to attend. For details of the November meeting, see www.greenblue.org/packaging.
