These environmental technologies including processing techniques, products and services which are conducive to sustainable development or environment-friendly, and are related to pollution control, waste management, ecological restoration, environmental monitoring, and recycling. U.S. environmental industry can be divided into three main categories, they’re environmental services, environmental equipments, and environmental resources. It has been a sustainably growing and important component of the global economy. The yearly growth rate of U.S. environmental technologies and services market from 1998 to 2003 was 1.8%. The yearly growth rate of solid waste management services from 1997 to 2002 was 2.9%. The total revenue had exceeded more than 51 billion U.S. dollars.
