Search instructions

The system shows the on-line situation (number of companies) as per environmental sector. Clicking one of the sectors creates a list of Companies in alphabetical order.

The search may be narrowed down by two limiters:

  • the type of services (construction; products and materials; design, planning and consulting; other services) and,
  • the country

Companies can also be searched:

  • by name ("Company search") or,
  • by key words ("Free text search")

Please note, that "Free text search" screens always the entire database and is based strictly on the information the responsible Science Park has inserted. The system does not consult for example Companies' own web-pages therefore the search results may be insufficient.

Classification criteria

Classification of companies is based on the ' OECD/Eurostat Environmental Goods and Services Industry manual classification'. Please note that companies may belong to more than one environmental sector.


ENVIRONMENTAL SECTOR
CRITERIA AS DEFINED BY OECD AND EUROSTAT (1999)
Climate change and air pollution control Removal of gaseous and particulate pollutants from air. Examples include filters and catalytic converters, gas treatment plant, and turnkey contracting.
Remediation and clean up of contaminated land and water Identification, assessment and remediation of contaminated sites and water. Examples include adsorbents and injection equipment, monitoring systems and proprietary treatment processes, sampling/analysis.
Nature and landscape protection Activities to conserve or maintain the natural environment.
Noise and vibration control Abatement of noise pollution. Examples include acoustic enclosures and noise barriers, vibration measurement systems, and noise and vibration measurement.
Waste management Collection, disposal and treatment of municipal, commercial and industrial wastes. Examples include landfill liners and composters, landfill gas extraction, and collection and disposal. Note: waste recycling have are classified separately.
Recycling This class includes any activity that produces equipment, technology or specific materials, designs, constructs or installs, manages or provides other services for manufacturing new materials or products, separately identified as recycled, from recovered waste or scrap, or preparation of such materials or products for subsequent use.
Wastewater management Removal of pollutants from municipal wastewater (sewage) and industrial wastewater. Examples include membranes, chemical dosing, pipes and tanks, control systems, aerobic and anaerobic systems, and trenchless boring and facilities management. Wastewaters are defined to including cooling waters. Activities for purifying and supplying water for drinking or for use in industrial and commercial activities are included in the Resources Management section.
Raw water treatment and distribution Equipment, technology or specific materials, designs, constructs or installs, manages or provides other services for water supply and delivery systems, both publicly and privately owned. It includes any activities aiming to collect, purify and distribute potable water to household, industrial, commercial or other users.
Renewable energy and energy saving This class includes any activity that promotes energy saving and produces equipment, technology or specific materials, designs, constructs or installs, manages or provides other services for the generation, collection or transmission of energy from renewable sources, including biomass, solar, wind, tidal, or geothermal sources.
Cleaner/resource efficient technologies and products Cleaner and resource efficient technologies decrease material inputs, reduce energy consumption, recover valuable byproducts, reduce emissions, minimise waste disposal problems, or some combination of these. Cleaner or resource efficient products decrease material inputs, improve product quality, reduce energy consumption, minimise waste disposal problems, reduce emission during use, or some combination of these.
Environmental Management Activities within the private sector which involve an explicit environmental dimension or function. For example, environmental management system operation, ISO14001 management and operation, environmental audit work etc.
Environmental education, training and data management Environmental education, training and data management.
Environmental research and development, Environmental analysis and assessment Discrete research and development activity specifically attributable to environmental objectives. Examples include laboratory analysis and attributed technological development. Each of the sectors above comprises of a variety of equipment and services, from general "low-tech" items, such as standard pumps and valves, to specialised "high-tech" equipment and services, such as pollution monitors and advanced filtration plant. Between the two lies a wide spectrum of technologies, skills and capabilities. Monitoring of environmental standards and conditions, both directly and remotely. Examples include monitors and instruments continuous emissions monitoring systems, and installation and maintenance.
