Environmental industry 

Do you operate a business that produces goods or services that are used to measure, prevent, limit or correct environmental damage? This kind of damage affects the water, air and soil; it includes problems related to waste, noise and ecosystems.

Environment-related businesses use resource-efficient or clean technologies that:

• Reduce material inputs
