Cleaner
production concept is just starting in our country. In 2009, the European
Union’s SWITCH-Asia Program started Green Philippines Islands of Sustainability
(GPIoS). This project was launched to improve environmental and sustainable
industrial development of Metro Manila and CALABARZON Regions in the
Philippines. Workshops and consultations were done based on three philosophies of balance (social, economic,
and environmental benefits). 2010-2011 is the first year of project
implementation which has 95 participating companies. Companies who participated
proved to have savings on energy and water, minimize waste, and earn extra
profit. The link below shows the participating companies’ success stories:
It’s a good thing that the local
government with the help of SWITCH-Asia, a program by EuropeAid, continues to
influence companies in our country to embrace the concept of cleaner
production. The video below shows the project of SWITCH-Asia in Cebu.
