Environmental Claims Tip Sheet
We have produced an Environmental Claims Tip Sheet setting out our 'top tips' for compliance when making green claims. This is a collection of nuggets that we've gleaned from our conversations with the industry.

The protection of Low2No product design and branding is essential – and now of even greater importance given the recent increase in look-alike product disputes.
At the Low2No Bev workshop on 29 September 2022, RPC explored the legal position it comes to look-alike products, and provided practical tips for brand owners – both when developing a brand and also when faced with a possible look-alike product.
See a copy of the slides below, alongside a handy tip-sheet for brand owners.
