The discussion presented in this paper refers to a broadly understood subject of a circular economy and related issues of eco-innovation, with a particular focus on the two-way relationship between the two. Based on data on EU member states’ activities in this area, the aim of this paper is to assess the impact of a circular economy on eco-innovation development. First, the idea of sustainable development from the perspective of a circular economy was presented along with the changes in its perception. Furthermore, the role of the European Commission was highlighted with respect to the legislation of that area for EU member states. A literature review was initiated by the European Commission’s forecasts concerning unsustainable production and consumption. In the same section, the definitions of a circular economy and eco-innovation were provided, and a close relationship between these two aspects often highlighted in scientific publications was indicated. Logit models were developed to verify the impact of a circular economy on eco-innovation development. For that purpose, the GRETL econometric package was used. Circular economy indicators and eco-innovation indicators available at the Eurostat and European Commission websites were used as diagnostic variables in the models. In two cases, the logit models indicated a significant relationship between the areas in question, which was also presented as a linear regression function. At the final stage, conclusions were presented, which included research limitations and future research directions.

Rozważania przedstawione w niniejszym artykule odnoszą się do szeroko pojętej problematyki gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym i ściśle z nią związanego - zagadnienia ekoinnowacji, w kontekście których szczególny nacisk położono na występującą pomiędzy nimi dwukierunkową współzależność. Bazując na danych z działalności państw członkowskich UE we wspomnianym obszarze, za cel niniejszego opracowania przyjęto ocenę wpływu gospodarki cyrkulacyjnej na rozwój ekoinnowacji. W pierwszej kolejności nawiązano do idei zrównoważonego rozwoju z perspektywy gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, a co za tym idzie zmian w jej postrzeganiu. Ponadto zaakcentowano rolę Komisji Europejskiej w zakresie legislacji tej kwestii dla krajów członkowskich Unii Europejskiej. Przegląd literatury został zainicjowany przez prognozy Komisji Europejskiej dotyczące niezrównoważonej produkcji i konsumpcji. W tym miejscu przybliżono również definicje: gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym i ekoinnowacji oraz wskazano na ścisły związek pomiędzy tymi dwoma aspektami, często podkreślany w publikacjach naukowych. W celu weryfikacji wpływu gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym na rozwój ekoinnowacji opracowano modele logitowe. Do tego celu wykorzystano pakiet ekonometryczny - GRETL, w ramach którego zmienne diagnostyczne stanowiły udostępnione na stronach internetowych Eurostatu i Komisji Europejskiej wskaźniki gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym oraz wskaźniki ekoinnowacji. Otrzymane modele logitowe w dwóch przypadkach wskazały na istotną zależność pomiędzy wybranymi obszarami, co przedstawiono również w postaci liniowej funkcji regresji. Na ostatnim etapie zaprezentowano wnioski, w ramach których nakreślono ograniczenia badawcze i kierunki przyszłych badań.

The current increasing topic around empirical study is environmental issues. Several previous studies examined how open innovation strategies could affect eco-innovation amid research debates about environmental conservation in corporate innovation. This study aims to prove the effect of open innovation strategies on creating ecoinnovation to affect SMEs’ sustainable competitive advantage and performance empirically. This study developed and empirically tested the mediating role of eco-innovation on sustainable competitive advantage and performance. A quantitative approach in testing the empirical research model was implemented. A total of 223 SMEs in the batik sector in Yogyakarta were examined. We used purposive sampling approach to select the research sample. The criteria used in the sampling is SMEs batik which has been operating for three years or more. The results revealed that open innovation strategies significantly positively affected eco-innovation while eco-innovation significantly positively affected competitive advantage and SMEs performance. Environmental uncertainty strengthened the eco-innovation relationship on competitive advantage, but not on the SMEs’ performance.

Purpose: The paper examines the mediating effect of dynamic capabilities (sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring) on the relationship between critical resources (financial, human, and physical) and Polish green innovative companies’ performance. Design/methodology/approach: The paper combines the Resource-Based View of the Firm with Dynamic Capabilities View and applies them to eco-innovation performance. The study is quantitative and was conducted among 54 Polish green innovative companies. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the research hypotheses. Findings: The results indicate that sensing and seizing opportunities mediate the relationship between all types of resources and eco-innovators’ performance. Moreover, reconfiguring the resource base mediates the relationship between human resources and Polish green innovative companies’ economic output. Research limitations/implications: The results of the study indicate that a specific set of resources is not always enough to enhance green innovative companies’ performance. Therefore, there is a need for dynamic capabilities. Such capabilities lead to the development of resources and their dynamic adaptation to technological and market changes. The findings may contribute to a broader scientific discussion on the specificity of eco-innovative activity and its conditions in the Polish economy. Originality/value: The paper is the first to examine – to the author’s best knowledge – the mediating effect of multidimensional dynamic capabilities on the relationship between critical resources and Polish green innovative companies’ performance.

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to identify and assess the various factors – legal, technological or social, that determine the process of eco-innovation development in SMEs sector companies. Design/methodology/approach: The first part of this paper presents literature considerations on eco-innovation and its characteristics as well as types of determinants affecting its implementation. The occurrence and importance of particular determinants for the implementation of eco-innovation was then evaluated as a result of an own survey research carried out in 2020 on a sample of 96 SMEs implementing technologies for environmental protection from the Silesian Voivodeship. Findings: The analysis and the obtained results indicate a significant positive influence of managerial environmental awareness, slightly less significant impact of final consumers and communication style in the company and significant impact of legal regulations, which may be a barrier for eco-innovation implementation. Research limitations/implications: The results provide a basis for activities to improve the effectiveness of the implementation of eco-innovation in enterprises. Limitations of the study include the subjectivity of respondents' opinions and the relatively small research sample, which may limit the generalization of the results. Practical implications: The results provide a basis for activities to improve the effectiveness of the implementation of eco-innovation in enterprises. Limitations of the study include the subjectivity of respondents' opinions and the relatively small research sample, which may limit the generalization of the results. Originality/value: The contribution of the research to the development of management sciences mainly includes the formulation and empirical verification of a set of key factors determining the process of eco-innovation implementation in SMEs in post-industrial region.

Państwa członkowskie UE są zobowiązane do zmniejszenia ilości tworzyw sztucznych kierowanych na składowiska odpadów. Zgodnie z zasadami nowoczesnej gospodarki odpadami oraz wymogami prawnymi obowiązującymi zarówno w Unii Europejskiej, jak i w Polsce należy dążyć do maksymalizacji m.in. odzysku materiałowego (recyklingu). Niekontrolowana gospodarka odpadami stwarza zagrożenia w środowisku, a ilość odpadów znacznie zwiększa się w ostatnich latach. W związku z tym technologicznie i ekonomicznie uzasadnione jest wykorzystanie odpadów jako surowców wtórnych oraz unieszkodliwianie ich w miejscu powstawania. Innowacyjnym rozwiązaniem jest modyfikacja chemiczna odpadów polistyrenu w kierunku uzyskania flokulantów polimerowych zastosowanych w procesach oczyszczania ścieków komunalnych. Pomimo że w procesach oczyszczania ścieków stosowane są małe ilości flokulantów polimerowych, to ich zużycie globalne jest stosunkowo duże. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań potwierdzają efektywne zastosowanie uzyskanych ekopolimerów, a w przyszłości ich produkcję.

The development of eco-innovation is driven by globalisation processes, technological progress and climate change. It is also directly related to the pursuit of sustainable development, as well as to the reduction of negative impacts on the environment and the efficient use of natural resources. Monitoring progress towards sustainable development requires the systematic measurement of eco-innovation. An important theoretical and practical challenge is to develop methods and indicators to measure eco-innovation. Currently, there are different systems for measuring eco-innovation, which makes international comparative analysis difficult. This article aims to conduct a compar-ative analysis of the development of eco-innovation in selected European and Asian countries. The study uses a critical literature review as well as a comparative analysis and synthesis method based on the ASEM Eco-Innovation Index. The study provides evidence that there are a number of differences in eco-innovation between European and Asian countries. Measuring eco-innovation is particularly important in planning and implementing instruments to stimulate environmental innovation across countries.

Na rozwój ekoinnowacji mają wpływ między innymi procesy globalizacyjne, postęp technologiczny i zmiany klimatyczne. Jest on również bezpośrednio związany z dążeniem do zrównoważonego rozwoju, a także z ograniczeniem negatywnego wpływu na środowisko i efektywnym wykorzystaniem zasobów naturalnych. Monitorowanie postępu w kierunku zrównoważonego rozwoju wymaga systematycznego pomiaru ekoinnowacji. Ważnym wyzwaniem teoretycznym i praktycznym jest opracowanie metod i wskaźników do pomiaru ekoinnowacji. Obecnie istnieją różne systemy pomiaru ekoinnowacji, co utrudnia międzynarodową analizę porównawczą. Celem artykułu jest analiza porównawcza rozwoju ekoinnowacji w wybranych krajach europejskich i azjatyckich. W opracowaniu wykorzystano krytyczny przegląd literatury oraz metodę analizy porównawczej i syntezy opartej na indeksie ekoinnowacji ASEM. Badanie dostarcza dowodów na istnienie szeregu różnic pod względem poziomu ekoinnowacyjności w krajach europejskich i azjatyckich. Pomiar ekoinnowacji jest szczególnie ważny przy planowaniu i wdrażaniu instrumentów stymulujących innowacje środowiskowe w poszczególnych krajach.

This study used 2017-2019 Chinese A-share-listed automobile manufacturing companies as research samples to analyse the impact of the government-business relationship on eco-innovation. We found that a healthy government-business relationship had a positive impact on enterprise eco-innovation. The mediating effects test verified that a healthy government-business relationship affected enterprise eco-innovation through financing constraints. In addition, managerial ownership significantly increased the positive impact of a healthy government-business relationship on enterprise eco-innovation. We also found that a healthy government-business relationship had a more substantial impact on enterprise eco-innovation in non-state-owned enterprises when considering corporate property rights. The study results provide empirical evidence for the influence of the government-business relationship on enterprise eco-innovation and deepen our understanding of eco-innovation in China’s automobile manufacturing industry.

Purpose: The primary aim of the article is to present, examine and discuss an alternative approach to the eco-innovation measurement of enterprises, based on the methodology of life cycle assessment (LCA). Design/methodology/approach: The simplified three-step approach, based on the LCA methodology, was applied to perform the analysis. It consists of the following subsequent stages: environmental assessment, environmental profile of an enterprise and contribution analysis. The environmental profile of the enterprise was calculated using the ReCiPe Midpoint (H) method. Findings: A medium size enterprise manufacturing rubber granulates (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer, EPDM and styrene-butadiene rubber, SBR) was covered by the research. The research proved that the analysed enterprise has the most detrimental impact on the environment in the following impact categories: marine ecotoxicity, natural land transformation and freshwater ecotoxicity. These result predominantly from SBR rubber granulate production. Consequently, due to the specificity of the manufacturing process to be more eco-innovative, the enterprise needs to apply more energy-efficient technologies. Originality/value: This is a fully original research paper that validates an alternative approach to measure and stimulate the implementation of eco-innovation at the micro-level. It complements the currently existing methodologies by taking life cycle and the supply chain perspective into consideration, and thus supports decision-makers in the implementation of the principles of circular economy

This study investigates the eco-innovation variable which has the significant effect on creative industries center’s performance of marble and natural stone craft sector in Tulungagung, Indonesia. The object of the study is the creative industries center with the non-renewable raw material. Mostly, the companies are in form of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which is ‘passive eco-innovator’ and their eco-innovation variables have not been investigated before in terms of their influence on their performance. The respondents were 81 craftsmen taken from the population. The data were collected through questionnaires which were tested, processed and analyzed by using Consistent Partial Least Square (PLSc). The eco-innovation variables which significantly effect on innovative performance are eco-organizational innovation and eco-product innovation. Eco-process innovation and eco-marketing innovation don’t directly affect on innovative performance, but its significant effect on eco-product innovation may influence innovative performance. Improving innovative performance will impact on financial performance through improvement of production performance, but market performance does not significantly affect financial performance. The findings of this study could be a reference for creative industries center’s of marble and natural stone craft sector to prioritize which type of eco-innovation should be improved so that its impact on performance is more significant.

This paper examines the application of life cycle assessment (LCA) as an approach to foster the product and process oriented eco- innovation of enterprises, using the fruit and vegetable processing plant as an example. LCA, which is traditionally used to assess the impacts of a single product system on the environment, was applied in the enterprise context. This was made possible by forming an indicator describing the environmental profile of an enterprise, which is calculated by the sum of the multiplication of the environmental impact assessment (LCIA) results for individual unit processes within a particular impact category and their weights reflecting the structure of production in an enterprise. In order to distinguish and indicate the direction in which an enterprise should undertake its eco-innovative actions (implementing eco-innovations within the product or production process) the LCIA results are presented individually for products and production processes. The research was conducted in full compliance with the LCA methodology. LCA proved that the analysed enterprise has the largest negative impacts on the environment in the following impact categories: marine eco-toxicity, freshwater eco-toxicity, freshwater eutrophication, human toxicity and natural land transformation. They result primarily from the consumption of thermal and electric energy in the production processes. Therefore, to improve energy efficiency, the enterprise should take eco-innovative actions in the processes applied.
