What are the examples of eco-innovations that can significantly reduce the scale of environmental pollution and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow down the faster global warming process?
Currently, the problem of growing garbage with unsorted waste is ignored in many countries, but because in the future the negative aspects of the problem of environmental pollution, including plastic, will grow, so in the future other countries will also try to solve this problem.
The problem of environmental pollution with plastic waste is one of the key global problems. This problem should be solved in all countries, and above all those that "generate" the most. The European Union has already undertaken specific measures in this direction, eg by introducing legal regulations under which plastic will be withdrawn from packaging by 2021 and replaced with biodegradable materials such as vegetable origin. However, these regulations concern only European Union countries.
Similarly with other aspects of environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Also, some large global economies are currently ignoring growing problems. But such an approach must be quickly changed, because there is little time to implement pro-ecological reforms, primarily in terms of reducing environmental pollution and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
As regards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, it is necessary to reform the energy sector in such a way as to switch from the production of electricity based on the classic energy based on the combustion of minerals to technologies based on the development of renewable energy sources. In addition, it is also important to develop electromobility in the automotive industry and other types of transport.
The global warming process is progressing faster, the scale of the negative effects of climatic disasters and weather anomalies, which are a consequence of the ever-faster global warming process, is increasing. There is little time left, according to climatologists only max. over a dozen years to implement the necessary ecological reforms and innovations, including in the area of energy development based on renewable energy sources, to stop or even significantly slow down the ever-faster global warming process.
In addition, one of the main types of eco-innovations includes innovative technologies for building zero-energy houses and residential buildings. The special design and materials used ensure low energy consumption and closure of the energy cycle in a cycle in which household power plants generating heat and electricity based on renewable energy sources are an integral part, primarily through the use of photovoltaic panels and wind farms.
As part of the implementation of the necessary pro-ecological reforms, it is also necessary to develop eco-innovations that will improve the automation of waste segregation and recycling processes. In addition, it is also important to create innovative technologies for the creation of new biodegradable materials that will replace plastic in packaging.
A good solution is the use of packaging made of biodegradable materials of origin, eg vegetable, on the basis of raw materials in the form of crops. These types of packaging could be consumed after their use, such as plates and cutlery made of rice or other cereals, or could be processed into compost for animal feed or for fertilizing arable land, or for incineration in a specially built incineration plant.
In connection with the above, the increasingly common application of ecological innovations, which are necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to limit, slow down the faster global warming process, will also contribute to increasing the scale of sustainable green economic development realized according to the green economy concept.
These processes of implementation of ecological innovations and implementation of pro-ecological reforms should be conducted in all countries, and to the largest extent in developed and developing countries, industrialized countries, including the largest economies in the world, which are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases and producers of garbage and non-degradable waste, toxic or hardly degradable.
Do you agree with me on the above matter?
In the context of the above issues, I am asking you the following question:
What are the examples of eco-innovations that can significantly reduce the scale of environmental pollution and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow down the faster global warming process?

Thank you very much

Based on the above considerations and discussion on interesting issues, I formulated the following thesis that as part of ecological policy, the state should support programs for the development of ecological innovations, thanks to which it will be possible to effectively implement the principles of sustainable pro-ecological development in economic processes in line with the green economy philosophy.
In the context of the above considerations, the following key questions arise:
- Should the financial expenditure from the state budget be increased for the implementation of ecological policy goals, including the state's implementation of programs supporting the development of ecological innovations?
- Are support programs implemented in your countries under the programs supporting the development of eco-innovations aimed at activating the establishment and development of innovative startups that base their business model on the development of eco-innovations?
- Were studies conducted that answered the question: Are developed ecological innovations an important and significant factor in the economic processes of sustainable pro-ecological development conducted in accordance with the green economy philosophy?
- Were studies conducted that answered the question: What proportion of new enterprises and startups that have been created in the last few years, what proportion of enterprises in the SME sector is developing their business model based on the creation and implementation of economic innovations in economic processes?

solar panel roofing sheets and solar panel wall tiles-use of solar reduces carbon emitted from burning coal
It is difficult to answer such a deep and wide ranging question in a few lines! However, it seems to me that (1) the only long term sustainable set of systems we know are living organisms, so (2) to keep the system of organisms - the biosphere - competent and enduring, we need to use only processes directly analogous to, and compatible with, those used by living organisms themselves. This does not bode well for most forms of current technology. So the inventions must be highly 'ecological', whatever their exact form.

Geothermal energy. The potential is vast and we looked at studies showing it can provide the energy for ALL the world’s large load energy needs (factories, home energy etc.).
Hi, It is recommended that to estimate the environmental impacts of implementing the renewable energies, use RETScreen software. This software is really powerful in this field. M.Firoozzadeh, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Jundi-Shapur University of Technology, Dezful, Iran

The deployment of renewable technologies can stimulate new economic activity; creating jobs, mitigating stranded assets and giving rise to cleaner, healthier environments. The benefits deriving from energy transformation significantly outweigh its costs. In economic terms, the cost savings resulting from improved human health, lower air pollution and avoided environmental damage.
I also agree that Renewable energy sources such as Solar energy, wind and hydro powers
This question is too broad, because of that, there were number of Eco-Innovations (EI) could see in world. especially these EI comes form in different subjects . For example renewable energy concept comes from in Technological innovation side, prospective and propositional knowledge concepts were coming from in knowledge Economic side , E-commerce , E- Fiance , consents are also in EI but these are coming form in Management side , Sustainable development models are also in EI. for example green growth models are belongs to sustainable development or growth concepts . those are coming form in Economic side , therefore EIs are in very common in today world . but mostly green technological innovations (such as renewable energy , smart car ) were taking more priority than other fields because those technological Innovations are tangibles and efficiency than other Eco innovations . those all innovations are directly or un-directly effected to the globel warming
