Clean Technology and its Efficacy: Strategies of Environmental Management
Journal Title: Journal of Environmental and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Industrial pollution control has been a major concern for various business units in the global arena including India. There are many initiatives on safeguarding the lives of future generation by carrying out commercial activities that ensures sustainability. Science and Technology have been exploring various technologies that could produce goods with least pollution and for efficient diffusion in to the society. The cost involved in producing products with less pollution has been substantially reduced. India on the verge of global presence would like to stay on par with global players in implementing clean technologies. The country faces problems in reducing the cost due to poor economies of scale and also such initiatives have created strategic disadvantages too many companies, thereby making adaption of clean technologies as a luxury. On the other hand many environmentalists and advocates for clean technologies have been pressurizing Government to launch stringent measures to enforce rapid adaption of clean technologies. The study focuses on International experience, especially Organization for Economic and Cooperation Development (OECD) countries in efficient implementation of clean technologies, so that India could draw successful lessons that could support efficient implementation of clean technologies in future India.
