“…In this context, voluntary environmental regulation has come into being. The development of green economy cannot be separated from the voluntary behavior of enterprises (Kolcava and Bernauer, 2021). Voluntary environmental regulation supplements command-based environmental regulation and also lays a solid foundation for the implementation of incentive-based environmental regulation (Wei and Zhang, 2020).…”

The development of the world economy has caused serious environmental pollution, which has resulted in an ecological crisis. With the acceleration of economic development, China’s ecological crisis is becoming more serious. Green technology innovation is an important driving force in realizing green economic development, and heavily polluting enterprises are the key link to cultivating green technology innovation. The Porter hypothesis holds that environmental regulation has a promoting effect on enterprises’ green technology innovation, but this is not reflected in the context of China. As a basic administrative unit, the implementation of environmental regulations in counties and districts determines the effectiveness of environmental policies. Utilizing structural equation modeling, this study analyzes the cultivation of the green technology innovation ability of heavily polluting enterprises under environmental regulations. The results show that command-based environmental regulation can effectively promote enterprises’ green technology innovation ability. Incentive-based environmental regulation needs to be strengthened to drive the development of enterprises’ “three wastes” treatment innovation ability. Voluntary environmental regulation does not effectively promote green process innovation and “three wastes” treatment innovation. In addition, enterprises’ current “three wastes” treatment innovation capacity is not enough to promote the improvement of enterprises’ green competitiveness. The results of this article show that environmental regulation is conducive to the green innovation ability of enterprises, and this promotion effect needs to be further strengthened. Moreover, the highlighted research limitations will contribute to the subsequent research work.

“…Because agricultural land will become more scarce in the future and demand for agricultural products will rise, the green economy sector will grow [2]. The development of green economy items in the future is very promising in terms of nutritional content, chemical content analysis, and health, ensuring that nutrition fulfillment, chemical effect reduction, and health are progressively guaranteed as green economy growth accelerates [3].…”

The green economy will be a determining factor in the challenges of the society era. The development of green economy products is needed in responding to the challenges of the society era. This study aims to determine the challenges and constraints of marketing green economy products that are starting to decline and are needed by degenerative communities as food staples. The research approach with the marketing mix carried out in this study recommends that marketing through digital platforms needs to be done to increase the market share of green economy products. Optimization of this digital marketing program is expected to expand market share and strengthen the positioning of green economy products. Products in the green economy sector are very environmentally friendly, but it is very expensive the development of its products, it is necessary to innovate in the marketing sector, product design, and nutritional content as well as raw materials with minimal use of chemicals, to increase people's purchasing power and become the hope for degenerative communities to consume products in the economic sector green. This research is still far from perfect because it requires innovation in the development of the marketing sector and economic products.

“…Enterprises expect to generate invisible income through green innovation to achieve their economic interests or behavior, in line with moral standards. The establishment and improvement of public awareness of environmental protection will increase the "marginal willingness to pay" for scarce goods, e.g., environmental quality, and tolerance for goods produced by enterprises with high pollution and energy consumption will be greatly reduced, with consequent resistance behaviors [ 39 , 40 ].…”

Based on combined data from the China Patent Database, China Industrial Enterprise Database, and China Customs Import and Export Database for the period 2004–2010, this study investigates the impact of heterogeneous environmental regulations on the export technological sophistication of manufacturing enterprises. Given deepening international market segmentation of production and the increasing proportion of intermediate trade, and compared with the traditional method based on exports, the export technological sophistication calculated here, based on value-added, is closer to the true level. Since there has been no in-depth comparative study on the relationship between heterogeneous environmental regulation and export technological sophistication, this study fills the gap. The results show that all three regulation types bear a U-shaped impact on export technological sophistication. Command-control regulation exhibits a restraining effect on mixed trade, eastern, and foreign-funded enterprises. Market-incentive regulation promotes processing and mixed trade enterprises as well as domestic and foreign-funded enterprises. Voluntary-participation regulation promotes all enterprises with different trade patterns and ownership. The mechanism analysis shows that command-control and market-participation environmental regulations affect export technological sophistication through the green invention and green utility innovation channels, while, additionally, market-incentive environmental regulation affects export technological sophistication through the green design innovation channel. Considering the environmental governance issues, the policy implications for enhancing the entire industrial chain and enterprises’ export competitiveness are clear. Due to the unclear functions and powers of competent departments and a rigid threshold, command-control regulation is not conducive to cleaner production technology and the promotion of enterprises’ export competitiveness; it should thus be discouraged. Although both market-incentive and voluntary-participation regulations have promoted cleaner production technology and enterprises’ competitiveness significantly, the environmental tax system requires continuous improvement. The government should continue to raise public involvement in environmental protection to enrich the channels and forms of environmental management.
