Sustainable development is one of the most debated
issues, recently. In terms of providing more livable Earth continuity,
while Production activities are going on, on the other hand protecting
the environment has importance. As a strategy for sustainable
development, ecoinnovation is the application of innovations to
reduce environmental burdens. Endeavors to understand ecoinnovation
processes have been affected from environmental
economics and innovation economics from neoclassical economics,
and evolutionary economics other than neoclassical economics. In
the light of case study analyses, this study aims to display activities
in this field through case studies after explaining the theoretical
framework of ecoinnovations. This study consists of five sections
including introduction and conclusion. In the second part of the study
identifications of the concepts related with ecoinnovation are
described and ecoinnovations are classified. Third section considers
neoclassical and evolutionary approaches from neoclassical
economics and evolutionary economics, respectively. Fourth section
gives the case studies of successful ecoinnovations. Last section is
the conclusion part and offers suggestions for future ecoinnovation
research according to the theoretical framework and the case studies.
