“…Hypothesis H2, "Adoption of the ISO 14000 certificate positively influences green innovations", is also not confirmed, completely in disagreement with the recent literature by Cainelli et al [28] and García-Quevedo et al [29]. We can see in Table 5, third row that ISO 14000 certificate adoption does not enhance ROS (which is understandable because those certifications imply cost), but it is not significant even for green innovation.…”

“…Unlike in [22] where technologies are considered as one construct, we display here all included technologies as independent variables. We did however perform all analyses with technology as one factor (and show results similarly), but for comprehensiveness we decided to include all researched technologies as this is a significant contribution to theory, which according to [28] is missing.…”

“…They find that product-related eco-innovations are strongly affected by policy. García-Quevedo et al [29] link eco-innovation with the adoption of the ISO 14000 environmental standard, similar to in [28]. Arranz et al [30] conclude that the density of firms in the region, the regional per capita income, and the existence of financing mechanisms are key elements for the eco-innovative development in the firm.…”

The main aim of this paper is to evaluate if manufacturing firms can boost their performance through green innovations. The literature on this topic shows contradictory findings. We have concentrated on the effect of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMT) on green innovations. To the authors’ best knowledge, this research is the first to examine the impact of a firm’s own AMT on green innovation and the firm’s performance at the same time. Green innovation in our research relates to green product innovation. The data analysis is performed through three-step OLS regression analysis and two evaluation models. One model looks at AMT and how they affect green innovation, and the second model looks at how AMT and green innovations affect performance. Our findings suggest that AMT contribute to both the firm’s performance and green innovation. We found that technology is a moderator for green innovations. While the majority of research emphasizes that firms will not eco-innovate unless they receive subsidies or severe restrictions are imposed, we show that out of all innovations, 66% are green innovations. Restrictions such as having ISO 14000 certification do not contribute to green innovation, but rather the age of the firm does.

“…Innovations that promote recycling, waste reduction and material use must be the focus as part of safeguarding the principles of circular economy and sustainable development (Cainelli et al, 2020). Some of the goals of innovation related to the circular economy may be the introduction of regenerative circular systems, as well as, reducing the dependence of economic growth on increased use of non-renewable materials and environmental degradation (Brown et al, 2019).…”

The waste increase and the environmental damage risk are important causes for the emergence of a new economic model that replaces the linear economy. The aim of the research is to point out the importance of the circular economy in a globalized society in which the sustainable development is a highly positioned goal. The importance of the issue stems from the fact that social welfare, apart from the development of production, must also be based on the preservation of health and living environment. The paper demonstrates many economic and social benefits from the implementation of the circular economy principles, as well as, the basic elements of this concept. The main objective is to reduce waste from the existing production cycle through the recycling process.
