PRESENTATION OVERVIEW

• Introduction to the concept of Sustainable


technology
• The need for Sustainable technology
• Organisations promoting sustainable
technology
• Steps towards a sustainable future and
upcoming sustainable technologies
IMPACTS OF TECHNOLOGY ON
ENVIRONMENT
• Carbon Emissions
• Deforestation
• Diminishing Biodiversity
WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY?

• Sustainable technologies are the


technologies which work to reduce
waste while maintaining efficiency.
• The main aim is to put a check on
the environmental degradation that
is being caused and not let it
increase.
TYPES OF SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY
• Renewable energy
• Nanotechnology
• Biofuels
WHY SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY?

EXHAUSTION OF NATURAL
RESOURCES
• We use approximately 40% more
natural resources than we can put
back
REASONS TO USE SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY
• Enduring Supply
1. Supply of materials that go into
manufacturing.
2. Orthodox methods extinguish a
resource.
3. Sustainability creates an
ecosystem that avoids this.
REASONS TO USE SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY
• Protecting the environment
1. Industrial development has a
negative impact on the
environment.
2. Sustainable technologies aren’t
perfect but minimize this impact.
3. Many companies use them for the
same reason.
REASONS TO USE SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY
• Assuming responsibility
1. Assuming responsibility is
essential for the sake of future
generations.
2. Educating and promoting this is
a significant part of a
sustainability based spirit.
REASONS TO USE SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY
• Lasting Opportunities for Innovation
1. This is an added perk of using
sustainable technology.
2. Creative pioneers have more
opportunities to design new
products.
MODERN SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES
• Green Architecture
1. Constructing buildings by making
use of existing natural light, eco-
friendly objects and adequate
insulation.
2. Reduces energy used in lighting.
3. Reduces amount of heat lost to
the outside.
MODERN SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES
• Electric Automobiles
1. An electric car is
an automobile that is propelled
by one or more electric motors,
using energy stored in
rechargeable batteries.
2. Reduce car emissions to help the
environment.
3. Reduce or even eliminate your
fuel costs.
Organisations Promoting Sustainable
Technology
• NGOs
An example -Ceres
Investor Network on climate
research (INCR)
Get us There
Organisations Promoting Sustainable
Technology
• Business organisations
1. Continuity of business is secured.
2. Unilever losses.
3. Feedback loop of sustainability.
Organisations Promoting Sustainable
Technology
Business Organisations(Examples)
• TESLA
1. Why do people prefer non-
sustainable tech?
2. How Tesla solves the problem
Gigafactory
Solar-Powered roof tiles
Steps Towards A Sustainable Future
• Invent

• Develop

• Manipulate

• Apply Different Processes


Steps Towards A Sustainable Future

• Adopting a minimalist slow tech


approach.
• Buy only what you need and make
it last for a long time.
• Ending the cycle of using
manufactured products that are
not eco-friendly.
• Promoting green technology.
Upcoming Sustainable Technologies
• Green Computing
Presently 60% system components
end up in landfills
Focus should be towards effective
and efficient designing,
manufacturing, testing
Proper disposal of computer parts
to ensure minimum impact on the
environment
Upcoming Sustainable Technologies
• Vertical Farming
Growing produce in vertically
stacked layers
This practice can be used to
produce food in challenging
environments (un-arable land)
Can be implemented easily in
skyscrapers, used warehouses,
shipping containers etc.
Upcoming Sustainable Technologies
• Smog Eating Buildings
Uses very little energy and can run
entirely on renewable sources.
Uses the concept of ionization
technology in order to attract the
pollutants towards its walls and
away from the air.
Research is going on in order to
implement such towers using solar
energy and increase efficiency.
