When this technology is applied doesn’t produce side effects or transformations to the environmental balance or natural systems (ecosystems).Within this technology we have reduced non-biodegradable waste and environmental self-sustainability, I mean, the replacement of the ecological costs caused by manufacturing. For example, if a loggingcompany plans to use 10,000 trees, they will replace them entirely and also pay for the use of the resource.
Advantages: sustainable development, clean management of resources, selfdestruction and recycling.
Disadvantages: Generally the adoption of clean technologies is synonymous with substantial increases in production costs and manufacturing, which is not good for corporateprofits.
High Technology
High technology refers to any technology that was developed in a recent form and is advanced (which is a step...
