Earlier this week the Global Cleantech 100 list which is in its 10th year was announced, showcasing the world’s top 100 companies in sustainable technology innovation.
The list is published by research firm, Cleantech Group, who themselves are a company that support the development of clean technologies. The Cleantech Group own the term ‘cleantech’ as a registered trademark, so to be listed by them in the top 100 in the world list, is quite the honour for companies within the industry.
We’ve profiled some of the companies from Europe that made the final list.

Black Bear Carbon (Netherlands)
Using a unique formula, Black Bear have managed to create a revolutionary process of extracting valuable materials mainly carbon black, from used tires which can then be used in the production of new products such as fresh tires, technical rubber products, plastics, paint and ink. Alongside this from the process an important bi-product is green energy, which is a form of high calorific gas and oil which can be converted into heat, electricity or steam. Black Bear have plans to resolve this issue for every country in the world. We’re excited to see how they progress.
