What is CleanTech?
Clean Technology, or CleanTech as it’s regularly known, in short is the description of a product, services or process that aims to improve or reduce negative environmental effects.
This blanket term relates to various companies and technologies that work within clean energy, sustainability, recycling, and other green innovation practices, such as water purification, biofuels, environmental protection, agriculture and much more.
With the UK’s dedication to combating climate change, and net zero by 2050, the market size of the CleanTech industry has grown in recent years with more and more solutions to improve environmental sustainability.
