FREE AWARENESS WORKSHOP FOR COIR BASED PRODUCTS MANUFACTURERS

ISB in collaboration with the Provincial Environmental Authority (PEA) conducted a free awareness workshop for coir and coir-based products manufacturers in the North Western Province on 10th October 2024 at ISB auditorium. This was the second such awareness workshop conducted in line with the workshop conducted for Vehicle Service Station Operators on 23th August 2024. The participants were made aware on the environmental law applicable to the coir industry, how to obtain/maintain an Environmental Protection License (EPL), the importance of wastewater treatment and laboratory analysis, how to reduce noise and dust levels in the coir industry and treatment of wastewater. The resource persons were from PEA and ISB. There was very positive feedback from the participant and the representatives from the Puttalam District Coir Manufacturing Association requested the organisers to conduct a similar session for 50 coir industrialists in Puttalam District in January 2025.
