For something a little different but a topic also near and dear to my heart, this week we featured Dan Felton, the executive director of AMERIPEN, an organization that represents the North American packaging value chain by providing public policy makers with fact-based, material inclusive, scientific information. Using sound science and a philosophy of material inclusivity, AMERIPEN develops and advocates positions on issues related to packaging and the environment. Members include leading brand owners, packaging converters, materials suppliers, and recyclers.
A well-known leader in the U.S. government affairs arena for more than 20 years, Dan has represented multinational corporations, various coalitions, and trade associations representing several Fortune 500 companies. He is particularly passionate about environmental, sustainability, and packaging issues and has advocated extensively in those areas at the local, state, and federal levels in the U.S.
I promise, you won’t think about packaging the same after you listen!
