ECO-INNOVATIONS IN JAPAN: THE MAIN DIRECTIONS

The paper presents the main aspects of the environmental technologies sector nowadays in Japan. Basing on the governmental definition of «ecological innovations», eco-innovations are developed according to the traditional Japanese concept of value creation – «monozukuri». Ecological innovations incl...
