Henkel and IMT-G to organize International Conference on Green Marketing

One of the key objectives of the conference is the understanding of factors to accelerate the growth of green marketing which began in Europe in the early 1980s. The development of ecologically safer products, recyclable and biodegradable packaging, energy-efficient operations, and better pollution control are all aspects of green marketing. Green marketing has catalyzed development of packaging using recycled paper, phosphate-free detergents, refill containers for cleaning products, and bottles using less plastic.
