technique engendrant de faibles quantités de déchets


Explanation:
Une fois de plus, "technology" est plutôt "technique" que "technologie" en français.
"Information technology" devrait être "informatique" ou "techniques de l'informatique" selon le contexte.

neutral  Stéphanie Soudais: je pense que "low waste" se réfère à la quantité; or, la quantité de déchet n'a pas forcément de rapport avec le caractère polluant
