Abstract: | Environmental protection activities in industry have rapidly increased in number over the last years. Additionally, surveys of environmental activities have identified a change in the kind or in the approaches used to environmental problem solving. A new paradigm Clean Technology has been developed which gradually seems to replace the Clean-up Technology paradigm and the older Dilute and Disperse paradigm. The new Clean Technology paradigm brings with it not only a new way of looking at environmental protection, but also a range of rules guiding the application of technology and the design of technological systems. This paper presents a few case studies highlighting and evaluating Clean Technology activities. |
