      Industrial Waste Exchange Program (IWEP)

            WASTE EXCHANGE is a process whereby the waste of an industry may be utilized
      in-house or transferred to another industry for reuse or recycling. The ultimate goal of the waste
      exchange is to reduce environmental impacts from industrial waste disposal while generating
      economic returns through the promotion of resource recovery from industrial waste.

      Objectives:

• To establish a sustainable trade information system for companies to publish their inventory of by-products that might be useful to others or their need for specific materials that might be a by-product of others.
• To provide information to the industrial sector on the economics of waste exchange, i.e. waste generators must not spend much resources in waste treatment if there are demands for their waste,
• To facilitate the matching of suppliers and users of the wastes.

      Philippine Business Agenda 21

            PBE was commissioned by UNDP under its joint project with the Philippine government
      called Private Sector Participation in Managing the Environment (PRIME) Project to consolidate
      the various medium and long-term initiatives of industry associations into an integrated plan to be
      called Philippine Business Agenda 21.

            Business Agenda 21 or BA21 reflects the business sector’s response to Philippine Agenda

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

  Goals

• Promote and develop environmental conciousness amongst Filipinos
• Unite and coordinate with local communities in their efforts for environmental protection
• To join in national and worldwide environmental action

  Programs and Services

• National Environmental Congresses
  
        The PFEC holds national environmental congresses to foster cooperation and exchanges between NGOs, POs, government agencies, the academe as well as other concerned individuals and organizations from all over the country. The Congress from its very simple purpose of serving as a venue to meet and get to know other groups in the Philippine environmental movement and raise environmental consciousness, has moved on to a commitment to serve as venues for study and discussions of environmental issues and coordinated effort to find solutions to these issues. It provided the opportunity for communities directly affected by environmental problems to share their knowledge and first hand experience. Likewise, it had forged development partnerships and strengthened linkages among participating organizations, the academe and relevant government agencies.

• Education and Extension
  
        The holding of training programs for various sectors of society regarding environmental protection is a continuous activity of the PFEC. Ecological orientation seminars are conducted upon request of community-based groups, NGOs and Pos. Information materials on various environmental concerns and issues are also made available to relevant groups.
  
        It was the PFEC who developed the training design and piloted the training for POs (farmers, fisherfolk, women and youth) to be Deputized Environment and Natural Resources Officers. Full training design/modules on ecotourism with emphasis on community-based approach was developed for a series of training conducted for the Philippines Tourism Authority.
