APO Asian Productivity Organization

Since 1994, the APO has actively promoted eco-products under its Green Productivity (GP) Program. The APO's GP Program has two flagship projects: the annual Eco-products International Fair (EPIF) and development of the APO Eco-products Directory and Eco-products Database, which are conducted with the cooperation of the GP Advisory Committee (GPAC) comprising representatives of leading Japanese corporations with years of experience in managing environmental issues.

EPIFs

The EPIFs are the largest environmental fairs in Asia and showcase the most advanced environmentally friendly products, technologies, and services that enhance sustainable development and competitiveness. The APO, supported by the GPAC, has organized the EPIFs since 2004 to provide a platform to raise environmental awareness, encourage greening of supply chains, support growing green markets, and involve the public in creating a better environment through the use of eco-products, eco-technologies, and eco-services. → Click below for more on the EPIFs.

APO Eco-products Directory and Database

The APO Eco-products Directory is a comprehensive listing of environmentally friendly products and services offered by companies and organizations within the Asia-Pacific region. Published every year under the guidance of experts led by Emeritus Professor Ryoichi Yamamoto, this directory aims to contribute to more sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region by promoting the concept of green purchasing and introducing various eco-products and eco-services to market players, consumers, and government officials.

The APO Eco-products Directory 2011 is the seventh and newest edition and showcases over 800 eco-materials, eco-components, eco-products, and eco-services developed within the Asia-Pacific and designed to help minimize impacts on the environment and mitigate the effects of global warming. The APO Eco-products Directory 2011 is currently available in hard copy and e-book (CD-ROM) formats. → Click below for more on the Eco-products Directories.

The APO Eco-products Database was launched in October 2010 as an online listing of products and services developed and designed in the Asia-Pacific region to help minimize impacts on the environment and mitigate the effects of global warming. This database provides users with a web-based, easy-to-access portal for viewing information on environmentally friendly products and services, which are showcased in the annual Eco-products Directory. Also equipped with a search function, users are able to search through the entire database and seek detailed information on specific products and services according to their needs. Currently, this database compiles information on the products and services listed in the APO Eco-products Directory 2011.
