Using the C2P2 Logo
Before you use the C2P2 logo, please take a minute to review the guidelines below. If you have any questions
about using the logo or when to use the disclaimer, please contact the C2P2 Information Center at 800 ERA-
WISE (372-9473).
How can the C*P* logo be used?
The C2P2logo may be used to promote participation in C2P2, to promote the C2P2 program to other
organizations, or to promote the beneficial use of CCPs in general. The C2P2 logo may not be used in any way
that could be perceived as an endorsement by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the C2P2
program of a company's product(s) or service(s). To help prevent such confusion, the logo must be used with
the following disclaimer in a clearly readable manner on all advertisements, product or service
literature, or any other materials that include or promote a specific product or service:
COAL COMBUSTION
PRODUCTS PARTNERSHIP
"Use of this logo does not imply EPA endorsement."
When is the disclaimer unnecessary?
The C2P2logo may be used without the disclaimer on internal communications and on any materials that
promote the C2P2 program, the organization's participation in C2P2, or the beneficial use of CCPs in general,
but which do not reference any product or service.

What are some examples of approved uses of the C2P2 logo?
The C2P2 logo may be used on internal and external communications to publicize participation in the
C2P2 program. Examples of internal uses include bulletin boards, newsletters, and posters. External
communications include advertising, press releases, annual reports, and Web sites. The C2P2 logo must
be used in its entirety, without alterations or modifications, unless specifically allowed in writing by EPA.
For additional examples, please see "Creative Ways to Use the C2P2Logo."
What are some prohibited uses of the C2P2 logo?
The C2P2 logo may never be applied directly (as a decal, label, or in any other form) to a product or on
any materials used in the primary packaging* of such products, nor used in any way that could be inter-
preted as a direct or implied endorsement by the EPA of a product or service. Any such use will result in
an immediate revocation of the organization's eligibility to use the logo.
Where can the C2P2 logo be placed?
In advertising and promotional materials, the logo should be adjacent to the company name or placed in
a corner of the page or advertisement block, separated from the text and photographs of the products or
services being promoted. The logo may not be placed in the body of the text or immediately next to or
below a photograph or other depiction of the product or service being promoted. For internal company
communications and on materials that promote the C2P2 program or beneficial use of CCPs and that do
not reference any products or services, logo placement is not restricted.
Can the logo be used on transport packaging?
Yes, the logo may be used on shipping boxes, grocery bags, or other types of intermediary packaging.
C2P2 encourages partners to place the logo on transport packaging to increase its visibility. The logo may
be used freely on any packaging that is not primary product packaging*.
Can the logo be used on primary product packaging* that the
consumer receives?
The logo cannot be used on primary packaging, because this use might appear to be an EPA
endorsement of the product. Any use of the logo that the consumer might logically interpret as an EPA
endorsement of a product or service is prohibited. However, when the primary product packaging also
serves as the transport packaging, the logo may be used with appropriate disclaimers.
* Primary packaging includes product packaging that the consumer sees prior to making a purchase.

Demonstrate Your Commitment Internally
Within your organization, using the C2P2 logo can help you educate employees about your organization's
participation in the C2P2 program and motivate them to participate in your C2P2 efforts. Many partners have found

C2P2 goals. Try using the logo on the following:
Mugs. Reminds employees about your organizations C2P2 efforts.
T-Shirts and Caps. Gets all employees involved and allows them
to help spread the word.
Internal Newsletters and Bulletins. Keep employees up-to-date on how
