Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 30, 2008 -- Sustainability is grabbing the headlines, but other regulatory developments on the environmental front are also affecting the business decisions of today's food and beverage packagers. Packaging Law Forum (http://www.packaginglawforum.com), scheduled for June 17, at the Gleacher Center in Chicago, will address sustainability programs, as well as other key environmental packaging developments of importance to brand owners.

Wrigley Jr. Company.
