Sustainable Technology refers to ecologically efficient designs, innovations, improvements or solutions in various sectors or industries and provides significant savings in energy, materials and resources. It prevents negative impacts to the environment and allows the shift of resources from non-renewable to renewable, non-biodegradable to biodegradable, ecosystem consuming extractive systems to renewing and restorative ones.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), sustainable technology promotes scientific understanding, development and application of technologies to address different areas related to sustainability including systems analysis, clean process, green chemistry, and green engineering.[2]
