Eco-innovation faces barriers similar to those facing general innovation, including weak science-industry links, skill gaps, regulatory obstacles, high patenting costs and a complex system of economic and fiscal incentives. However, environmental labelling is costly and sustainable products account for a negligible share of government purchases (MMA, 2015). The 2015 Biodiversity Framework Law is expected to facilitate innovation and industrial activity based on the fair use of genetic assets and traditional knowledge (Section 4).
