Introducing Green Pages

The volume and diversity of information available over the Internet is beyond imagination, yet the Web continues to grow at a phenomenal rate. With this staggering amount of data, it is quite normal for Internet users to spend hours searching for some information without ever finding it - either getting too many or irrelevant results. Green Pages aims to provide sort of binoculars for environmental technology, by running a system featuring clear structures and advanced query facilities, over an inherently qualified reference source that is manually edited and continuously renewed.

Green Pages offers producers & service providers exposure to a global audience, and is a forum to freely present new ideas and share practical experiences. The best technology is of little use if no one is aware about it or knows where to get it. The value of know-how lies in its application, to develop its potential it must be propagated. We hope you´ll find many direct links to the subjects of your interest here. This international directory includes contacts in manufacturing, engineering, consulting, information services, education, finance - to name a few - covering a wide spectrum of:

• Organisations, Publications & Events
• Water & Waste Water Treatment
• Clean-Up & Soil Rehabilitation
• Waste Management & Recycling
• Air Pollution Control & Noise Protection
• Power Generation & Energy Efficiency
• New & Renewable Energy Technologies

Editorial Profile

Environmental technology is not a vertical marketplace - environmental protection challenges technology. Environmental engineering is truly interdisciplinary, ranging from chemistry and biology through physics to economics. In the traditional definition, it comprises water & waste water treatment, air & noise pollution control, solid waste management and soil conservation. Green Pages also covers power generation and energy efficient technologies, as well as processes to develop cleaner production in industry and sustainable agriculture. It is a global directory, covering the entire spectrum of products, techniques and services required to meet increasingly complex requirements and stringent regulations.

Complementary to publications on specific subjects, Green Pages promotes awareness about available solutions across specialist disciplines. Air pollution, for example, cannot be addressed without looking at patterns of urban growth, energy, and transportation alternatives. It is hoped that the information compiled in this directory will result in innovative new combinations of applying available techniques. Green Pages provides suppliers with contacts to both end users as well as potential business partners across the globe, while giving readers choice and alternatives.

Directory Structure

This easy-to-use, point-and-click type directory system offers you quick and various ways to find, access and compare up-to-date information on leading suppliers of environmental technologies from around the world:

• Its comprehensive index system ensures that you will find more than one way to locate suppliers with solutions that match your specific requirement. The listed products and services are grouped into main categories with sub-classifications. For every given field, all associated items are being listed within the same section. Under «Water Filtration», for example, products like filter cartridges, carbons, filter fabrics etc., as well as design engineering and construction services for such facilities have been included.
• The country index alphabetically lists vendors and organisations from specified territories only.
• The search tool allows to locate products & services in combination with organisation names & place of origin, on simple keyword or substring input.
• Powerful cross-references embedded into the address details of every organisation listed in Green Pages, allow you to rapidly retrieve, select and compare supplier information.

Platform for Synergy

ECO Services International aims to provide accurate, reliable, high quality, and cost-effective services to users of ecological information around the world. We engage in structuring data by classification, not in product rating or definition of ideological opinions. Green Pages is targeted at the public and private sector business community, who is actively engaged in addressing the considerable environmental impact caused by economic growth, industrial expansion, and sadly quiet often plain ignorance and greed.

Today, almost a third of global output is traded internationally. Buyers are increasingly using the Internet to locate, compare and purchase goods & services, and have become less concerned about the suppliers geographic location as they can always get in touch electronically. Suppliers compete in market places that were beyond their reach before, aiming to launch new products globally. Green Pages is a platform linking consumers with suppliers, introducing users to the world´s leaders in pollution prevention and sustainable technology, supporting short-term sales of equipment and consulting contracts, and long-term technology transfers to local licensees and joint-ventures.

The publishers wish to thank all who have contributed by providing editorials, and trust that you will find Green Pages a useful tool, assisting your efforts of finding solutions to resolve environmental issues.

Sincerely Yours, Urs Tobler, Editor & Publisher
