Environmentally-friendly technologies can be found all around us. Examples are biofuels, solar panels, wind turbines, recycling systems for waste or water, etc. They are basically any technology that is designed to prevent or reduce the environmental impact of any stage of the life cycle of products and activities. Promotion of new programmes that foster the development and take-up of new cost-effective and innovative environmental technologies offers opportunities that are good for business, reduce pressure on the environment, and can create new quality jobs. The Irish Government is encouraging stakeholders and the public to discover and share promising opportunities to make eco-innovation an everyday reality throughout Ireland just as the EU is doing throughout all of its Member States.
