Sustainable Technologies

A technology is sustainable when it can be built, run, repaired and retired without leaving a burden behind. We identify, assess and promote technologies that meet that test.

Focus

  • Renewable energy and energy efficiency at small scale.
  • Water conservation, treatment and reuse.
  • Waste reduction, recovery and circular material use.
  • Low-input agriculture and post-harvest technologies.
  • Sustainable materials and green chemistry.

The FIRSTIP letter

A monthly note on IP practice, sustainable technology and the work of our chapters. No more than one email a month.
