Ecotechnology emphasizes approaching a problem from a holistic point of view; for example, holding that environmental remediation of rivers should not only consider one single area but the whole catchment area, which includes the upstream, middle-stream, and downstream sections. [citation needed]
Clean technology includes a broad range of technology related to recycling, renewable energy, information technology, green transportation, electric motors, green chemistry, lighting, grey water, and more. Environmental finance is a method by which new clean technology projects can obtain financing through the generation of carbon credits.
The idea of eco-innovation is fairly recent. [1] One of the first appearances in the literature was in a 1996 book by Claude Fussler and Peter James. [2] In a subsequent article in 1997, Peter James defined eco-innovation as "new products and processes which provide customer and business value but significantly decrease environmental impacts". [3]
As technology has improved and the cost of parts has decreased over the last two decades, underwater robots have begun to play an important role in exploring and working in harsh aquatic conditions.

Incineration, the combustion of organic material such as waste with energy recovery, is the most common WtE implementation. All new WtE plants in OECD countries incinerating waste (residual MSW, commercial, industrial or RDF) must meet strict emission standards, including those on nitrogen oxides (NO x), sulphur dioxide (SO 2), heavy metals and dioxins.
