Sažetak
The international community has reacted to uncontrolled consumption of natural resources and raising environmental issues by establishing the policies for sustainable development of the society. One of the most important is Circular economy policy that involves integrative processes for all of three dimensions: economic, environmental and social. Interdisciplinary framework of Circular economy requires different approaches and systemic solutions, instruments and mechanisms driven by paradigm of sustainable consumption and production. The key element of Circular economy are Eco-innovations that bring along not only environmental innovative technology solutions but also involves holistic combinations of service innovations and novel organizational set-ups. Therefore, scientific and expert society foster experience sharing on Circular economy and eco-innovative solutions including the best practices to the global, national, and regional scale. Considering Eco-innovations as the key element in enabling regional transition to Circular economy, this paper explores their interactions and provides conceptual modes for establishing the eco-economic space of the region. In addition, this work exploring the monitoring framework and indicators in order to provide data for benchmarking the progress among different regions.
