Eco-innovation could be a key motive force of efforts to take on weather switch and realize eco-friendly development within the post-Kyoto period. Eco-innovation demands speedier creation of leap forward applied sciences and for extra systemic software of accessible strategies, together with non-technological ones. It additionally bargains possibilities to contain new avid gamers, increase new industries and elevate competitiveness. Structural switch in economies could be vital in coming many years. This ebook offers the study and research performed throughout the first part of the OECD undertaking on Sustainable production and Eco-innovation. Its target is to supply benchmarking instruments on sustainable production and to spur eco-innovation via larger realizing of innovation mechanisms. It studies the options and kinds an analytical framework; analyses the character and tactics of eco-innovation; discusses present sustainable production signs; examines methodologies for measuring eco-innovation; and takes inventory of nationwide techniques and coverage tasks for eco-innovation.able of content material : Acronyms and abbreviationsPrefaceExecutive SummaryChapter 1.

Example text
To meet the growing environmental challenges, much attention has been paid to innovation as a way of developing sustainable solutions, also known as eco-innovation. This concept is gaining ground in industry and among policy makers as a way to facilitate the more radical and systemic improvements in corporate environmental performance that are increasingly needed. This has led to understanding eco-innovation in the sense that solutions concern not only technological developments but also non-technological changes such as those in consumer behaviour, social norms, cultural values, and formal institutional frameworks.
2006; Reid and Miedzinski, 2008). The concepts of sustainable manufacturing and eco-innovation are closely related, but not identical. Earlier and more traditional sustainable manufacturing initiatives, for instance, tend to take the form of adjustments to products and processes, marketing methods and organisational structures. Later and more advanced sustainable business practices, on the other hand, ECO-INNOVATION IN INDUSTRY: ENABLING GREEN GROWTH – © OECD 2009 1. FRAMING ECO-INNOVATION: THE CONCEPT AND THE EVOLUTION OF SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING – are related to the creation of new products and processes, alternative business models, and circular production systems in which discarded goods can be reutilised as new material inputs and seemingly unrelated industrial processes can be connected, with large environmental gains.
It is not enough, for instance, simply to locate manufacturing plants with symbiotic relationships close together if no technology or procedure for exchanging resources exists. Process modification, product design, business model alternatives and the creation of new methods, procedures and arrangements should go hand in hand and must evolve together to leverage the economic and environmental benefits from such initiatives. This also means that as sustainable manufacturing initiatives advance, the nature of the eco-innovation process becomes increasingly complex and more difficult to co-ordinate.
