"""This book is for anyone and everyone interested in cutting through the mythology, hype, and often confusion of ‘green products’. Al Iannuzzi has made it his life’s work to encourage the development and uptake of greener, more sustainable products, and this book is testament to his dedication and huge depth of knowledge and practice. What’s particularly great, is that Al has delivered a ‘goldilocks’ book, not too academic, not to light, just right. Read, learn and do."" ― Dr. Sally Uren, Forum for the Future, London, United Kingdom The pressures on companies to ‘go green’ and be more sustainable are real and growing. But it's now more than just greening operations; it's also about creating more sustainable products and services. We'll need companies to take this mission seriously, and Al Iannuzzi from J&J does. It's refreshing to see an executive at a leading consumer products company take a larger view of sustainability and advocate for the benefits of greener products. ―Andrew Winston, Author of Green Recovery and co-author of Green to Gold If you want to know how to make your brand more sustainable and how to sell your better brand to your customers, Greener Products explains the details. As you’ll experience from reading this book, companies that use sustainability as a driver of innovation and then smartly market their benefits will win. As Al says, when you “hit the sweet spot, of having a truly greener product that is communicated in an appropriate way, everyone wins.” ―KoAnn Vikoren Skrzyniarz, Founder/Chief Catalyst & Community Builder, Sustainable Brands Worldwide “The very best book on green marketing I’ve read so far.” Anna Clark, Vice President & Sustainability Practice Leader, Cooksey Communications, Texas, USA"
