Abstract

The 21st century is characterized by a growing commitment to preserving the natural environment. Coming out of the industrial revolution, the focus has now shifted toward environmental sustainability as one of the key aspects of human progression. More countries are adapting green economy programs that support the development of mechanisms promoting renewable energy sources and ensuring energy-efficient materials in constructions for housing and industry. Entire industrial sectors are undergoing transformation, with a focus on environmental safety making them increasingly attractive to investors. Mastering advanced technologies ensures competitiveness in the job market. The nature of competition itself is evolving, with the environmental credentials of products — encompassing their entire life cycle, from production to disposal — emerging as a key determinant of success.
