Cleantech -- Other Sustainable Technology

The number of people living on earth has doubled over the last century. This rapid growth has put increased strain on the earth’s resources. Companies and organizations are pursuing sustainable technologies that place importance on the societal and ecological impact that their products and services generate. These products and services embody sustainability at the initial design process, using as little energy and materials as possible, taking the quality of the material resources available into mind, and ensuring that the end result makes a positive, worthwhile contribution to society.
