Is it possible for a 'green start-up' to affect the functioning of traditional industries? Numerous new enterprises are doing their part to create alternatives to the traditional products and services through renewable resources, waste reduction, cleaner transportation, and energy efficiency. There is a new class of green start-up companies that are bringing in concepts which can make a dent in the manufacturing and delivery process of established businesses. In the meantime green energy startups are developing solutions that may ultimately make the old ways of energy production obsolete. Environmental startups are also tackling problems such as plastic waste and carbon emissions. Can these businesses be the next big companies with the right technology, funding and demand in the market?
