GREEN

TECHNOLOGY

By: PRINCE EMMEL S. DEL ROSARIO & ANDREA LYN DIAZ

What is Green Technology?
 It is a technology which is
environmentally friendly,
developed and used in
such a way so that it
doesn’t disturb our
environment and
conserves natural
resources.
 It is also known as
Environmental Technology
and Clean Technology.
What is Green Technology?
 Green technology is a system that uses
innovative methods to create an
environmental friendly products.
 It uses renewable natural resources that
never depletes, so future generation can
also benefit form it.
 It can effectively change waste pattern
and production in a way that it won’t
harm the planet.

TYPES OF GREEN
TECHNOLOGY
 GREEN ENERGY
 GREEN BUILDING
 GREEN PURCHASING
 GREEN CHEMISTRY
 GREEN NANOTECHNOLOGY
GREEN ENERGY
 Reasonsfor the need of Green
Technology
 Natural resources used in the energy
generation process is on the decline.
 Increasing pollution caused by the non
renewable sources.
GREEN BUILDING
 Hindrances
 High initial cost of setting up
the projects
 Emerging technology, so
risk involved
 Doesn’t cater to the
promoters short term
interest of profit making
• Advantages
 Reduces cost of operation in
the long term
 Consumers now more
environment conscious
GREEN PURCHASING
 Product
 Product dimension includes
providing and using
engineering with market-
driven trends for green
product attributes such as
energy savings, organic
clothing, low volatile organic
compounds, green chemical
etc.
 Greener selection and use of
resources results in savings
from less waste, less
chemicals and less
processing.
GREEN CHEMISTRY
 Design of processes to
maximize the amount of raw
material that ends up in the
product.
 Use of safe, environmental-
benign substances, including
solvents, whenever possible.
 Design of energy efficient
processes.
 Best form of waste disposal,
not to create in the first
place.
GREEN
NANOTECHNOLOGY
 Green nanotechnology refers to the use of
nanotechnology to enhance the environmental-
sustainability of processes currently producing
negative externalities.
 Aims to minimize potential environment and
human health risk associated with the
manufacture and use of nanotechnology
products, and to encourage replacement of
existing products with new nano-products that are
more environmental friendly throughout their
lifecycle.
APPLICATION
 Theuse of green technology can reduce
the amount of waste and pollution and
provide early warming message that is
created during production, consumption,
and impact of natural disaster.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
 Responsibilityfor the environment
 Rethinking the way we live
 Reducing Exhaustion
 Recycling waste
 Renewing Energy
