    Exports of products from eco-industries (% of total exports)

    The indicator captures the share of eco-industry exports in total export (in %). The subsectors that make up the eco-industry are: air pollution control, water pollution control, waste disposal, monitoring equipment, other environmental equipment, solar thermal, photovoltaics and hydropower.
