greenware
Dried but unbaked
Greenware is pottery that has been shaped but not yet fired in a kiln.
At this stage the clay is dry but fragile, still able to be reworked with water or carved before the permanent hardening of firing.
In software, greenware refers to programs designed with environmental sustainability in mind—energy efficiency, reduced hardware demands, or minimal carbon footprint.
