The Research On The Process And Evaluation Of Green Innovation Supporting Carbon Footprint

Global warming and other environmental issues is increasing, extensive mode ofeconomic growth brings economic growth, along with the ecological damage andresource depletion issues. Government regulatory policies, coupled with increasingconsumer awareness of green require companies to break the original model ofproduction, take the sustainable green model. Green innovation is the best way tomeet that demand. Thus making green innovation as the theme of the article, fromeconomic benefit, environmental benefit and carbon footprint perspective, usinglife-cycle thinking to analyse and evaluate the process of innovation, providingreference for green innovation.First the article introduces the research status of green innovation, life-cycleassessment and carbon footprint. Taking the life-cycle theory as the basis foranalysing and evaluating the process of green innovation, the innovation process isdivided into green development, green production, green marketing, use and service,recycling stages, building the analysis model of innovation process. Then using thelife-cycle assessment method to evaluate the innovation process, comprehensive fuzzyevaluation is used to establish a evaluation indices system of innovation process with29evaluation indices on economic and environmental aspects. At the same stage,calculating the carbon footprint of innovation process as a key indicator of innovationevaluation. Finally, taking one company s green innovation as an example, making ananalysis and evaluation on its innovation process, finding out the key and weak stagesof innovation, and providing advice for improvement.
