Abstract

Sustainable technological solution can be low-tech or hi-tech which involve high cost or low cost. To be sustainable the solution should be low-carbon, low-energy and low-chemical. This chapter discusses the fundamentals of array of solution available in literature and practice so that one can chose from many possible solutions to achieve sustainable solution.
