Clean technologies refer to all types of innovations and creations that are linked to responsible, social and environmental issues. Also called eco –innovation, these products and services aim at reducing or avoiding the impact of humans on the planet Earth.

In fact, eco-innovation is an important concept. It deals with processes, management, products and services, social behaviors that are working to reduce pollution, avoiding the destruction of animal life and lush vegetation, and of course keeping the planet safe for the next generations.

Moreover, clean technologies deal with the use of resources and always with a long term vision. Besides, clean technologies are closely implicated with research and development that are studying resources, their use, and their availability.

As companies invest a lot in research and development, many innovations can pop up and help wealth creation for the entire society.

According to the current issues, some themes are put forward every year to encourage companies and people to have a look at different subjects linked to eco innovation.

For instance, in 2009, material recycling, building construction and smart purchasing were in the news.
