- The prefix “eco,” meaning habitat or environment, comes from “ecology,” the branch of science concerned with the interrelationships between organisms and their environments. 'Eco' covers all kinds of environmental innovations from energy and water savers and chemical free cleaning, to recycled glass and good quality products that use and promote better ecological solutions and materials.
- Eco-innovation is a term used to describe products and processes that contribute to sustainable development. It is often used to describe a range of related ideas, from environmentally friendly technological advances to socially-acceptable innovative paths towards sustainability.
- Eco-innovation is closely linked to a variety of related terms. It is often used interchangeably with 'environmental innovation', and is also often linked with 'environmental technology', 'eco-efficiency', 'eco-design', 'environmental design' and 'sustainable design'.
- Eco-materials encompass one or more of the following six factors: avoiding and/or reducing the use of nonrenewable or scarce resources, enhancing the material closed loop by recycling and reusing waste, increasing resource efficiency including that of energy and materials, using more durable materials with fewer maintenance requirements, promoting the use of renewable resources and energy and minimizing adverse impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems.
- The three perspectives for categorizing eco products are: environmental load, environmental performance index and life cycle stage. Based on the major product categories, eco-components can be classified into seven groups: construction components, electrical and electronic components, semiconductor manufacturing devices, machine parts, automobile parts, packaging, and others.
- Eco-products are made from improved raw materials, including recycled or biomass materials. In addition, during the production process, minimal energy and water resources are used with less waste and fewer pollutants.
- The use of eco-products can lead to energy and water savings, minimal emissions, and reduced waste and subsequent need for waste treatment. Eco-products are also designed to ensure the ability to recycle and recover materials and components.
- Eco-services are defined as those designed to shift traditional business from designing and selling products as physical objects into designing and selling product or service functions to meet the needs of customers. This new business is based on the life-cycle concept to ensure consideration of environmental issues.
