Environmental companies plan trade mission to Korea

by The Associated Press

The Division of Trade and Development will lead a five-day environmental services mission to Korea on March 28.

The mission will focus on Alaska’s potential export of expertise in environmental products, technology and services.

Greg Wolf, division director, said the state has been awarded a $20,000 matching grant from the U.S.-Asia Environmental Partnership to help companies with expenses for the trip.

The companies provide expertise or technology for oil spill prevention and cleanup, water and wastewater treatment, solid waste disposal and recycling, and clean air.

“These are technologies and services Korea is looking for,” said Nancy Babcock, the mission organizer. “The Korean government expects to invest billions of dollars between now and 2005 to clean up its environment.”

Babcock said five Alaska companies have confirmed they will join the trade mission and three more may attend.
