IMG Lighting at Green Tech - San Jose, CA November 2011

Nov. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- IMG Lighting attending the Cleantech Open Finals in San Jose, California, Nov 14-16, 2011. IMG Lighting will be having onsite meetings at the conference and at the offices with new and existing partners.

The Cleantech Open's reputation is built on its clean technology Business Competition, the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. Cleantech Open alumni companies continue to score scientific breakthroughs, funding, deployments and customers.

The Global Ideas Competition, the first truly global search for exciting new clean technologies and business ideas, had entries from 31 countries in 2010. Join us in 2011 for an even bigger and better global challenge


Entries in the Air, Water & Waste category focuses on improving resource availability, conservation and pollution control. With respect to waste, the category focuses on cradle-to-cradle approaches to reduction, reuse and recycling technologies, as well as innovative business models and approaches to materials usage.

Air examples include services, instruments and equipment related to emission control, treatment or reduction technologies. Also included are creative approaches to greenhouse gas reduction, including carbon conversion and sequestration.

Water examples include treatment, storage and monitoring, recycling and conservation technologies.

Waste examples include: waste management equipment; sorting; resource recovery processes; pollution prevention, control, and treatment technology; as well as waste reduction through innovative recycling processes and new recyclable materials, such as bio-based plastics.

Example technologies include:

Water monitoring-on-site in-situ real-time water monitoring for pathogens
