SCOPE OF THE CGJ REGISTRATION

The CGJ registration program applies to environmental claims included in labeling, advertising, promotional materials and all other forms of marketing, whether asserted directly or by implication, through words, symbols, emblems, logos, depictions, product brand names, or through any other means, including marketing through digital or electronic means, such as the Internet or electronic mail. The CGJ registration applies to any claim about the environmental attributes of a product, package or service in connection with the sale, offering for sale, or marketing of such product, package or service for personal, family or household or for commercial, institutional or industrial use.

Because the CGJ registration is not a legislative rule under Section 18 of the FTC Act, it is not an enforceable regulation, nor does it have the force and effect of law. The CGJ registration itself does not preempt regulation of other federal agencies or of state and local bodies governing the use of environmental marketing claims.
