Presentation
Clean technologies are green innovations that encompass any new product, service, technology or process that aims to be :
- ecologically efficient by reducing the negative impact on the environment;
- economically advantageous by offering users an improvement in their operational efficiency;
- socially responsible by contributing to a better quality of life and the reduction of negative impacts on health.
