ABSTRACT
Objectives:
Innovation, especially eco-innovation (eco-innovation), is an important element of modern economic systems. The aim of this paper is to assess resource efficiency indicators considering them from the perspective of the level of eco-innovation in EU countries.

Material and methods:
Based on an analysis of the available literature, the paper focuses on the issues of measuring eco-innovation. The article, based on the analysis of the available literature on the subject, focuses on the issues of measuring eco-innovation. Then, the available eco-innovation indicators were used and statistical data for 2021 were analysed. Data was collected from European Commission reports.

Results:
The analysis of selected indicators was presented both for Poland and for the other EU countries, which made international comparisons possible. Then, through the so-called indicator monitoring, the stage of development of eco-innovation was determined for each country

Conclusions:
The eco-innovation indicator is one of the most important indicators in the field of environmental protection. The implementation of eco-innovation is therefore aimed at stimulating sustainable development.
