Question
Discuss the role of eco-efficiency technology.
Answer in Brief
Solution
- Use of alternative raw materials: e.g., agricultural residues like rice straw and wheat straw are good substitutes for wood.
- Shifting to renewable sources of energy: Renewable sources of energy, such as biofuels, solar power, wind power, tidal power, hydropower, and geothermal power, do not create pollution and are inexhaustible.
- Technology that reduces pollution, such as solar water heaters, solar cookers, windmills, etc., is also pollution-free. The use of CNG and unleaded gasoline in vehicles also reduces pollution.
- Reusing and recycling waste: e.g., waste goods such as paper, glass, plastics, and metals can be recycled into new products.
