Registration is Open for the Philippine Green Pages
The Philippine Center for Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development, Inc. (PCEPSDI) is calling for all the producers and distributors to register their eco-friendly products and services to the first-ever Philippine’s eco-directory, the Philippine Green Pages to be launched on August 18, 2011 to satisfy the need for a list of environmentally friendly products and services to attain sustainability.
PCEPSDI, the administrator of the National Ecolabelling Programme – Green Choice Philippines (NELP-GCP) is advocating sustainable consumption and production to the industry and government and now expanding to a larger group – the youth through the newly formed Philippine Green Youth Movement (Phil GYM) and the general public through their new publication. PCEPSDI, a non-stock, non-profit and non-government organization, with Ms. Elisea ‘Bebet’ Gozun as its chairperson is adopting the Asian Productivity Organization’s (APO’s) asian-wide eco-directory in the Philippines.
In partnership with the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), PCEPSDI will publish the first-ever directory listing of ecolabelled products (Green Choice Philippines Certified), green products, green materials, green components, and green services. Fittingly titled, Philippine Green Pages (PGP), it aims to be the primary reference of all suppliers and providers of eco-friendly products. This will be used as a tool by institutional buyers greening their procurement, including the members of the Green Purchasing Alliance Movement (GPAM) and individual consumers in making purchasing decisions.
To name a few, energy saving appliances, accessories made out of recycled materials, stores using eco-bags, business solutions to save on electricity and water consumption can be registered to the maiden publication of PGP. This new kind of directory will also be published in the internet that would be a venue and an opportunity for eco-friendly products to become a staple item in an office or household.
For more details on how to register your green product and service, you may call the secretariat at 631-2151 or visit their website at http://pcepsdi.org/philgreenpages. You may also email them at greenchoicephilippines@pcepsdi.org.ph and philippinegreenpages@pcepsdi.org.ph.
