SE 07 EP 05: Why is clean technology important?
Welcome back to Season 7 of Sustainably Influenced. This series we are discussing the intersection of technology and sustainability. In today's episode we are talking about clean technology, also known as "green technology" or "clean tech," which refers to a broad range of products, services, and processes that minimise negative environmental impacts while promoting sustainability. Clean technology encompasses a wide range of areas, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, green transportation, sustainable agriculture, waste management and recycling, and water conservation, among others. The importance of clean technology cannot be overstated, as it plays a crucial role in addressing some of the world's most pressing environmental challenges, including climate change, deforestation, water scarcity, and air pollution.The Tyre Collective, which is a clean-tech company founded in 2020 by Hanson, Hugo and Siobhan with a vision to reduce their impact on the environment.What began as a master’s project at Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art, now brings people across disciplines and industries together to tackle the complex problem of tyre wear.
