Cleantech
Defined
The
concept of cleantech embraces a diverse range of
products, services, and processes across industry
verticals that are inherently designed to:
-
Provide
superior performance at lower costs
-
Greatly
reduce or eliminate negative ecological impact
-
Improve
the productive and responsible use of natural
resources
Vertically
integrated technologies are being developed and
commercialized by Itronics to meet these goals.
Cleantech spans many industries including:
-
Agriculture
-
Air
& Environment
-
Materials
-
Manufacturing/Industrial
-
Recycling
& Waste
-
Water
& Wastewater
-
Energy
Generation
-
Energy
Storage

Clean is
more than green. Clean technology, or
“cleantech”, should not be confused with the terms,
“environmental technology”, or “green
technology”, popularized in the 1970’s and 80’s.
Cleantech is new technology and related business
models offering competitive returns for investors and
customers while providing solutions to global
challenges. Where greentech and envirotech
represent the highly regulatory driven,
“end-of-pipe” technology of the past with limited
opportunity for attractive returns, cleantech is driven
by market economics that provide greater financial
upside and sustainability. Cleantech business
models may encompass several industries to achieve their
technology objectives.
Itronics vertically integrated Cleantech business model
includes elements from Agriculture, Air &
Environment, Materials, Manufacturing, Recycling &
Waste, and Water & Wastewater. The Company has
created revolutionary vertically integrated technology
that provides improved costs to its customers,
completely converts a hazardous liquid waste stream to
commercial goods thereby maximizing the use of natural
resources, produces liquid fertilizers that are
more effective than fertilizers they replace, and that
reduce the amount of residuals in the soil, the risk of
surface runoff into surface waters, and the risk of
groundwater pollution. The business model is
structured to produce profits that are not constrained
by regulatory control, thus providing open upside to
Itronics’ investors as the Company grows. |
