The green economy aims to improve manufacturing and consumption practices across the entire life cycle of processes and products. In contrast, resource efficiency focuses on creating value for society by reducing waste generated per unit of product or service. The green economy is a macroeconomic strategy for long-term economic growth that places a premium on investments, jobs, and skills development.
If one subject has persisted over the last two decades, it is the green economy and sustainability. People are attempting to live sustainably by recycling, using less plastic, riding bikes, taking public transportation, and purchasing locally produced items. As private and public entities collaborate on technological developments to achieve zero carbon emissions, we hope to see a carbon-free future sooner than envisioned.
