With the increasingly developed technology, often the environment is eventually degraded. However, several companies have entered the wave to develop products with sustainable technology, to bring improvements and innovations to users while preserving the environment. We list seven green technologies that worked. Check out:

3D Printer
The 3D printers also jumped on the bandwagon of sustainable technology and the 3D System, in partnership with Coca-Cola and the pop star Will.i.am, launched in 2014 a model with recyclable material. The EKOCYCLE Cube used PET bottles as raw material and also features sustainable and economic characteristics for its users.
The device cartridges can use the equivalent of three plastic bottles to create a wide variety of accessories from musical instruments to sophisticated decor items. It produces objects with a resolution of up to 70 microns using only the cartridge content. She also has touchscreen display and automatic leveling system.
Smart City
Imagine if instead of having just a house with ‘smart’ devices, have a whole city with this concept? In Japan, the intelligent city is already a reality. In December 2014 was opened in the country the city of Fujisawa, planned to spend as little as possible of natural resources such as water, and save on consumption of fossil fuels.
The houses of Fujisawa , idealized city for not harming the environment, are equipped with solar panels on the roof to clean energy funding, in addition to architecture, with buildings designed favoring winds and increased natural lighting to reduce consumption of electricity. The project had the Panasonic as one of its investors and the houses cost about 10% more than in other nearby cities and “not smart”.
Shower ‘Smart’
Have you thought about turning your bathroom into an interactive game and also help conserve the environment? That’s what Eve, the smart shower, does. With it, you save up to 50% water, and this economy is possible due to a smart system that only releases water when it is really needed, according to the consumption statistics presented by an application.
Is it useful to buy a 3D printer? Find out in TechTudo Forum.
While saving, it compares the amount of water you spend with the other users, turning your bathroom into a sort of “competition sustainable “. Eva has emerged as a project in the collective funding site Indiegogo and hit its initial goal, raising more than $ 50,000 (about US $ 155,825.00).
Chew which generates energy
Have you thought about producing electricity while you simply chew your lunch or dinner? Due to the invention of Canadian scientists, this is now possible. They created a device, like an ear protector that transforms the force that we chew while in power, making the human being in a small source of clean energy. This is because the device is composed of piezoelectric fibers (PFC, its acronym in English), material able to convert motion into electricity.
The fibers are placed in a band positioned below the chin, that is, as the mouth moves, the stretch fibers and given a command, turning that power into energy. The downside, scientists admit, is that, for now, which could be generated by the device was very little, only 10 microwatts per minute. But it’s a start and a new way of generating energy to be crafted and further developed.
Solar Artificial Tree
aTree, artificial tree capable of generating electricity, it is more environmentally friendly technology. The model, developed by a group of Israelis, has “leaves” able to capture sunlight through smaller than usually found on rooftops receptors. The tree produces enough to be able to power USB ports for smartphones, Wi-Fi routers and even water cooling system.
The project goal is to make popular novelty in parks and other outdoor environments, so that people have access to technology anywhere, and also an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. The Sologic, the project developer, intends to create a kind of chat between users of eTrees all over the world.
Jacket ‘tech’

The clothes can also serve as environmentally sustainable technology, such as jacket developed by the brand Tommy Hilfiger. The model captures solar energy and can recharge up to two smartphones at the same time, and other gadgets. It has USB cables and also recharges with electricity.
The jacket, created in partnership with Pvilion manufacturer, has small solar panels on the back of coat to better capture the light. These panels are detachable, flexible and water resistant. The model is available in two versions, male and female, and reach a battery life of up to 6000 mAh.
Mouse and keyboard
The Multilaser and Maxprint jumped on the bandwagon of sustainable technology and launched during Eletrolar in September 2014, a mouse and a keyboard, respectively, loadable through sunlight or artificial light. This works because the devices convert ambient light energy throughout the day, storing in their lithium batteries. Thus, it is possible to use them even when there is no light at the site.
With a full charge, the mouse will last up to two hours of uninterrupted use without ambient light. If you need more than that, it also has a cell sharing device. Have the keyboard, after loaded for about two hours in sunlight, lasts up to three months of use without access to light.
