RP to host 5th Eco-Products Int'l Fair
ROXAS CITY -- The country will host the 5th Eco-Products International Fair (EPIF) 2009 from March 19 to 22 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
The fair is one of the largest international environmental exhibitions in Asia which showcases the most advanced environment-friendly technologies, products, and services that enhance sustainable productivity and competitiveness.
It provides opportunities to explore business collaborations, as well as promote public awareness of environmentally friendly products and services.
The upcoming event will be co-organized by the Asian Productivity Organization, Development Academy of the Philippines and Philippine Business for the Environment.
"The 5th EPIF in Manila will also provide an excellent opportunity to educate and engage the general public for the establishment of a sustainable society and provide local industry players with a marketing platform for exploring business collaboration and accelerating eco-awareness and expansion of green markets in the Philippines," said a blog about the event.
The Fair will also give us the opportunity to showcase our country's industrial and indigenous eco-products and services. The participants are the students and teachers of public and private schools.
EPIF has been successfully staged in Malaysia in 2004, Singapore in 2006, Thailand in 2007, and Vietnam last year. (PIA)
