Clean technology (paradigm)

Clean technology (paradigm)

Clean Technology (the paradigm) stands for a technological system which was designed with the social and environmental impacts in mind. It differs fundamentally from clean-up technolgy which only tries to mitigate its impacts.

In a sustainable world, Clean Technology offers technical and philosophical guidance for the design and implentation of technology.

If one takes the Clean Technology paradigm to its extreme case, the philosophical result might be that the exclusion of all luxury goods (human wants) would have to be remove to make the system sustainable. The result would be that materials are only covered to meet human needs.
