The incorporation of mineral additions to Portland cement reduces the amount of clinker required in cement manufacture improving the eco-efficiency of this process.
In 1998, the concept of "green chemistry" was established through twelve principles with the aim of improving the eco-efficiency of chemical processes and to judge, whether or not, a chemical process is sustainable.
The Gabonese eco-guards have impressed Corporal Andy Whicker, of 2nd Battalion The Rifles, part of the British army team delivering the seven-week training course: "The way these guys move, it is like they are part of the jungle".

Raising the global electrification level and encouraging people to use more electricity to meet their energy demand, along with improving the reliability, economy, and eco-friendliness of the power industry, is one of the important methods to ensure energy security.
The Eco-city was designed to combine recreation, fitness, tourism, business with local history and culture, develop eco- and culture-based tourism projects, highlight industrial civilization and park landscaping, gradually improve the economic, eco- and social performances of Nanhu area, and eventually achieve the "economy-society-environment" sustainability and coexistence in the mining city.
