The whole development process along the history of the society was based on the innovation and the applications of the innovation in different areas. Especially during the last century, innovation was considered the engine of the development due to its huge importance in reaching and maintaining a high rate of growth for the world’s economies. The innovation process has now a specific feature, namely the orientation to the environmental problems which affect the whole planet; according to this orientation, a new type of innovation is recognized – the eco-innovation. Our paper aims to introduce and characterize the eco-innovation, to present the importance of this process in the context of sustainable development, to highlight the EU environmental policies which include the concept of eco-innovation and to exemplify some positive achievements in the field.

For manageability of the enveloping environment and to reduce human inclusion, green innovation is utilized. Green innovation is thought is to frame stock which may be completely saved or reused. The principal key points of green advances are to lessen waste and contamination commonly. Principally it contains grouped ordinary cleanup stock, squander, innovations, vitality sources, wear and host of others. Green procedures and advancements utilize sustainable and regular assets that never drain. Advancement towards maintainable improvement needs changes at every residential moreover on the grounds that the universal dimension. The overarching desire is that this field can bring curiosity and development changes in diurnal lifetime of same size of information innovation. In addition, among the possible region wherever these manifestations and development are required to come back from include natural cultivating, unpractised vitality, green building development, eco-materials, and creating of applicable stock and materials to help green business. In this paper, we will in general propose the innovations by including green part so they will maintain a strategic distance from surroundings debasem*nt and help to supply a perfect domain for who and what is to come. The paper conjointly talks about the opportunities and difficulties for un-practiced innovation in a few areas.

Theoretical Aspects Of The Nature And Influencing Factors Of Eco-Innovations
European Scientific Journal ESJ
The world faces such serious environmental problems as climate change, the exhaustion of natural resources and the loss of biodiversity, which create self-destruction threats to our mankind. This situation has become so real and visible that it caused response in the form of eco-innovations. Eco-innovations are any kind of innovation that contribute to more efficient exploitation of resources or environmental protection. Eco-innovations involve the sustainable exploitation of natural resources, ensure increase in the quality of life, meet today's needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs and contribute to the preservation of biodiversity for an unlimited period. Eco-innovations involve not only environmental gains but also provide an opportunity for entrepreneurship. Eco-innovations reduce the expenses of enterprises, help the enterprises to use new opportunities for their growth and strengthen the image of the enterprises among the public. The eco-innovation initiative was launched in 2008, and it was part of several European Union (EU) innovation programmes. For this reason, the research problem and the research aim were determined by the necessity to identify and examine the theoretical aspects of the nature and kinds of this relatively new initiative, which are further used as a basis for empirical research. The research aim is to characterise and examine the theoretical aspects of the nature and influencing factors of eco-innovations. The research employed general analysis methods, logical construction, and quantitative methods: monographic, content analysis for the specific literature and research papers, a specific case study and graphical methods for data analysis and depiction.

Purpose – Eco-innovation is any form of product, process or organisational innovation that contributes towards sustainable development. Firms can eco-innovate in a variety of ways. The purpose of this paper is to identify nine different eco-innovation activities – including such items as reducing material use per unit of output, reducing energy use per unit of output, reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) “footprint” – and the authors ask whether these act as substitutes or complements to one another.

Corporate challenges imposed by global economic competitiveness, coupled with addressing social inequalities and environmental problems, have been growing and becoming increasingly a silent form of selection in the business environment. In this sense, an evolution of society awareness and public governments, to a notion change, with regard to social behavior, mainly oriented to consumption form, has led companies to rethink the way in which they develop their new products. From this interaction between the companies' search for innovation and the worldwide need to be fit for the triple bottom line, Eco-innovation arises. The objective of this work is to evaluate what has been studied and applied on eco-innovation, analyzing some of works carried out between 2011 and 2015. This work has an exploratory character, through literature review, focused on a specific theme, with a structure of keyword-driven search. Through the results found, the work concludes that, eco-innovations mus...
Innovation in Design: A Study of Green Buildings
IJSRP Journal
Three-fourths of the world’s energy is consumed in cities and more than half of it is consumed in buildings. The construction sector is one of the most traditional & cost oriented industries and it makes much sense to bring innovations that are environmentally and economically sustainable. Sustainability in the construction sector or in other words green buildings are mainly focused on the reduction of emissions, construction of energy efficient houses and maintaining thermal comfort of the occupants.
