Classification is essential tool diffusion field knowledge a higher maturity level concept eco-innovation. Through systematic review models, study aims present gaps opportunities advancement field, outlining promising directions regarding potential research areas, contents predominant characteristics new models. This paper has developed upon analytical framework explore diversity eco-innovations suggestions according classification criteria (research area, model approach, characterization, application sectors, generalization level, among others). general, that analysed reveal predominance generic descriptive characteristics. Moreover, there gap related organizational structural factors social aspects sustainability. Opportunities normative can highlighted, such as methods, tools adapted systems industrial segments. Therefore, still offers broad possibilities
