Green technology combines science, engineering and innovation to provide sustainable solutions that conserve the natural environment and minimise the negative impact of human activities on the planet.
As society pushes towards a circular economy we are inspired and motivated by the commercially-focused innovation taking place across a diverse range of technologies. Industries are finding new ways to support the creation of sustainable solutions and are set to tackle our shared universal challenge to slow down global warming and reduce the green-house effect. The ongoing drive for combatting climate change is not only encouraging growth in existing ‘green’ sectors but is also leading to the development of entirely new fields. Whilst the challenge is huge, so too is the opportunity for innovators to find new and more efficient ways to replace existing technologies and processes with eco-friendly ones and play their part in stemming climate change.
The importance of green technologies is widely recognised with discussion of key green technologies featuring prominently at the recent COP27 conference and is also highlighted by recent policy decisions which aim to incentivise the development of technologies that reduce our environmental impact. Along with the drive to improve sustainability, the need for green technologies represents a huge opportunity for businesses who develop and commercialise such technologies.
On this page we provide advice and resources on taking sustainable technology from ideas to business and celebrate some of the exciting sustainable technologies we’ve been proud to work with. If you’re passionate about the role technology can play in a more sustainable future like we are, we’re sure you’ll find something interesting (and hopefully helpful) here!
