Effective natureplus Ecobuild stand
At Ecobuild ASBP launched natureplus in the UK and partnered with Pavatex, NBT, Foamglas, Wienerberger and Ecomerchant to share a stand. At this huge event there were plenty of chats and much interest of public to find out more about the advantages of a recognised ecolabel and the products that are natureplus certified. All the time the natureplus / ASBP stand (photo) was crowded and very much recognised by thousands of visitors.
