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.
