Staying on top of the legal and policy developments in the PFAS arena is no small task. As a special service to our members, the Environmental Law Institute provides a monthly series of webinars with co-authors of the PFAS Deskbook, James Pollack and Isabel Carey, and national experts on PFAS to keep you up to date, answer your questions, and highlight a unique topic related to PFAS during each session.


Green marketing allows consumer product manufacturers to tap into demand for products that have less of an impact on the environment. Over the past several years, green marketing has also shown its potential as a litigation minefield. This form of false advertising, or greenwashing, presents serious litigation risks from the FTC, states, and class action plaintiffs alike. One of the fastest-growing segments of greenwashing litigation has involved PFAS. PFAS chemicals are found in many consumer products—including many products featuring green-marketing claims regarding sustainability, lack of artificial or harmful chemical content, and natural origins. In this month’s PFAS briefing, learn about regulations pertinent to green marketing as well as recent developments in how false advertising cases are being litigated.
