Abstract
There is no commonly accepted or internationally agreed definition of green
technology. The term can be broadly defined as technology that has the potential to
significantly improve environmental performance relative to other technology. It is
related to the term “environmentally sound technology”, which was adopted under the
United Nations Conference on Environment and Development Agenda 21.
Environmentally sound technologies are geared to “protect the environment, are less
polluting, use all resources in a more sustainable manner, recycle more of their wastes
and products, and handle residual wastes in a more acceptable manner than the
technologies for which they were substituted”.
