Green Technology is an umbrella term that describes the use of technology and science to
create products and services that are environmentally friendly. Green tech is also called
environmental technology or cleantech. Cleantech is used to describe products or services
that improve operational performance while reducing costs, energy consumption, waste or
negative effects on the environment.
The goal of green tech is to protect the environment and in some cases, repair damage done in
the past. Green technologies can be used to conserve natural resources and preserve the Earth.
One of the benefits of green tech is that it has become a burgeoning industry that's attracting
enormous amounts of investment capital. However, green tech benefits extend beyond
financial opportunities and include creating a safer and cleaner environment.
Green tech can often be a stated goal of a business segment or company. These goals are
typically outlined in a company's environmental, sustainability, and governance (ESG)
statement, or can even be the focused mission statement of a firm. Increasingly, socially
responsible (SRI) investors look to companies that specifically employ or produce green
technologies.
Green technology–while it has become increasingly popular–has been in use in some form or
another since the industrial revolution. Manufacturers have sought to reduce the negative
environmental externalities by altering their production process to produce less soot or waste
by-products. Still, green technology as a sector or investment philosophy did not really
develop until the 1990s.
Examples of Green Technology
Green tech is employed in many different ways. Below are a few examples of green
technologies that are used today.
Recycling
Green technology is used to recycle waste, including paper cardboard as well as waste
incineration. Recyclable material can be used for plastics, fertilizer, and fuel. Green
technology is also involved in production, such as processes to recycle water or waste in the
manufacturing process.
Clean Water
Green tech is used to purify water throughout the globe. With the scarce water resources in
various parts of the world, green technologies offer a solution to purify dirty water or
removing salt from seawater to create drinking water for those in need.
Clean Air
Green tech helps purify the air that we breathe by reducing carbon emissions and gases that
are released into the air from manufacturing plants. Green technology helps reduce carbon,
which is harmful to the environment. The population benefits due to cleaner air and fewer
respiratory issues.
Energy
Green tech is used to conserve energy as well as create alternatives to fossil fuels that are
more environmentally friendly. Fossil fuels typically crate waste as a by-product of their
production. Solar, wind, and hydroelectric dams are examples of green technologies that are
safer for the environment and don't produce fossil fuel waste by-products. Besides the
environmental benefits, these alternative energy sources can be used to power a home or a
utility power plant. Green tech is also employed for the conservation of energy such as the
installation of energy-efficient fixtures and LED light bulbs.

The use of straw today is very
widespread. In restaurants and
supermarkets there are many uses of
straw that contribute to
environmental pollution.
