 The fourth edition of the Eco-products Directory is being released in conjunction with the opening of the Eco-products International Fair 2008 in Hanoi, Vietnam in March. The publication has been extensively revised and updated and is now even easier to use and understand. Nearly 20 pages have been added, including enhanced descriptions of many features and new topics such as “rationale for the Eco-products Directory 2008” and “main news and topics related to the environment.”
While the global warming issue forces us to make efforts to use resources and energy efficiently and to reconsider socioeconomic activities and lifestyles that involve large volumes of production, consumption, and waste, more than 700 products or services are contained in the Eco-products Directory 2008, with more than 400 categorized as effective in preventing global warming. The APO hopes
that this publication will contribute to an appreciation and expansion of eco-product and -service markets in the Asia-Pacific region.
