The four-day Eco-products International
Fair (EPIF) 2008 got underway to the cheerful rhythm of traditional
Vietnamese drums and the visual spectacle of a dragon dance on 1
March. The opening stage, constructed in front of the National
Convention Center (NCC) Hanoi, the fair venue, was surrounded by
special guests comprising exhibitors, international participants,
supporting organizations, and organizers, as well as local and
international spectators and media.
The EPIFs are among the largest
international environmental exhibitions in Asia. Each one has been
increasingly successful in showcasing the most advanced
environmental technologies, providing opportunities to explore
business collaborations, and promoting public awareness of
environmentally friendly products and services since the first fair
opened in Malaysia in 2004.

The 4th EPIF, organized by the APO in
collaboration with the Directorate for Standards and Quality (STAMEQ),
Vietnam Productivity Centre (VPC), and Vietnam Association for
Conservation of Nature and Environment (VACNE), was a smashing
success. Over the course of the four-day event, more than 98,000
people attended, breaking the previous attendance record set in
Singapore in 2006 by approximately three-fold. The EPIF 2008 also
made history by being not only the first event held in Vietnam to
promote eco-products and -services but also one of the largest
exhibitions ever held in Hanoi.
More than 90 businesses and organizations
exhibited state-of-art environment-friendly technologies, products,
and services that can enhance productivity and competitiveness in
harmony with environmental protection. Participants traveled to
Vietnam for the EPIF 2008 from Japan, the Republic of Korea,
Singapore, Malaysia, Sweden, and Germany. Many local companies and
organizations also joined the event to promote their products and
services.
Vietnam was the natural choice for the EPIF
2008, as APO Secretary-General Shigeo Takenaka stated in his opening
address, “As a member of the APO, Vietnam has so far
implemented more Green Productivity (GP)-related projects than any
other member country; mostly in the field of community development.
It was no surprise to us, therefore, when Vietnam expressed its
readiness to host this EPIF.”

Vice Chairman of the National Assembly
Nguyen Duc Kien, in his opening remarks, spoke passionately on the
importance of sustainable development, referring to major policies
that the Vietnamese government had undertaken to achieve
“Sustainable Development and a Better Life,” the theme of this
year’s fair. “The year 2008 is an important year in the
five-year plan 2006–2010 leading up to the special 1,000-year
anniversary of Thang Long [a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage complex]
in Hanoi. This Eco-products International Fair is a meaningful
milestone for those events,” said Vice Chairman Kien.

Directory 2008 to Vice Chairman Kien

As part of the opening ceremony, Prof.
Ryoichi Yamamoto, Vice Chairperson of the GP Advisory Committee (GPAC)
presented Vice Chairman Kien with the newly published Eco-products
Directory 2008. The directory contains a trove of more than 700
eco-products/services developed by environmentally advanced
enterprises, of which more than 400 are categorized as effective in
preventing global warming. The Eco-products Directory 2008
greatly expands on the 591 items in the 2006 edition, with new
categories introduced. The previous editions have attracted
attention from various environment-related groups not only within
Asia but globally. In light of international interest in the
directory, the APO is planning to distribute the most recent edition
to participants and local media attending the G-8 summit meeting to
be held in Hokkaido, Japan, this summer.

In parallel with the EPIF 2008 was the
International Conference on Promotion of Eco-products for
Competitiveness and Sustainable Consumption, organized by the APO
and VPC. Thirty-nine APO participants attended the conference in the
NCC conference hall. They included representatives of private
enterprises involved in eco-product development, concerned NGOs, and
members of the public involved in the promotion of sustainable
consumption. They were joined by more than 150 local attendees.
Renowned international and local speakers delivered presentations on
the best eco-practices of industries, regions, and countries for
sustainable development including the keynote address made by GPAC
Chairperson Dr. Tamotsu Nomakuchi, Chairman of Mitsubishi Electronic
Corporation. All the presentations were simultaneously interpreted
into English and Vietnamese.
Other concurrent events included the Forum
on Eco-Community for Asia held at Hanoi Architectural University on
3 March, and Workshop on Green Purchasing and Green Supply Chain at
the NCC. Various cultural and artistic activities at the venue drew
large audiences during the entire duration and included musical
recitals, puppet shows, and student dramas.

environmental messages for the eco-wish tree

The organizers’ booth distributed the APO
introductory leaflet as well as postcards featuring winning
photographs from the APO photo contests, including those from
Vietnam. STAMEQ and the VPC also displayed various publications and
leaflets to promote the concept of productivity and sustainability.
The eco-wish tree where visitors were invited to post their
environmental messages was as popular as at previous fairs,
especially with the addition of cherry blossom notepaper. Many
messages from students showed their determination to protect the
environment: “Let’s protect our planet”; “Clean environment
for peace for life”; “Protect our environment for your and our
future”; etc. Most students emphasized the importance of working
together to save the earth and nature. “I came here to see how the
eco-concept is adopted into products or services. I am so excited to
see all these new ideas and products,” said college student Vu Thi
Thu Hang, with a shy smile during an interview at the APO booth.
Tran Ngo Khanh, a consultant in the field of building materials,
echoed that sentiment: “I am very happy to know that Vietnam hosts
this kind of grand exhibition. I hope this event will be held next
year as well.”
The APO’s efforts to promote the
eco-spirit will continue. The excitement and attention that the EPIF
2008 generated will only encourage the host of the next fair. It is
hoped that Vietnam will follow the lead of Thailand, a previous host
country, by holding a domestic Eco-products Fair in the near future.

the environment by producing energy-efficient products and
reducing global CO2 emission by 300,000 tons by March 2010.
