However, these actions must be integrated to achieve circularity, where the eco-innovation methodology is a tool that allows finding opportunities for improvement, which can be implemented from the company or be linked to the academy or governmental entities.The eco innovation tool is a methodology developed by the environmental area of UN that has been working since 2016 in Peru, and is applied to various industrial sectors. The most important feature of this methodology is that, unlike others, it applies the generation of business models while the company is aligned with environmental stewardship.
