Can a ‘green start-up’ possibly influence the operations of the traditional industries? There have been quite a few new firms coming up and contributing their bit in making an alternative to the traditional offerings via renewable sources, reducing wastage, efficient transport, and energy saving measures. There is an emerging trend of green start-up companies which are introducing ideas that could make an impact on the way traditional firms conduct their operations. On the other hand, there are green energy start-ups which could eventually render the conventional methods of producing energy obsolete. Environmental start-ups are also solving problems like plastic waste and carbon emissions.
