Abstrakt: This article evaluates the presence of innovative technologies and maturity levels in an eco-industrial park focused on energy and material recovery. The park comprises four entities as follows: a central company and three manufacturing units specializing in energy and material waste recovery. This study proposes a measurement model supported by following four constructs: innovative technologies, maturity level, energy recovery, and materials recovery. Each construct is evaluated through four categorical indicators. The assessment involved five managers and practitioners using a five-point Likert scale. The primary findings highlight a notable deficiency in the application of innovative technologies and a need for digital maturity in the park management body. Furthermore, the study reveals that material recovery holds greater significance and exhibits higher performance compared with energy recovery in the park's operational strategy. In conclusion, the study suggests a series of strategic actions to enhance the application of innovative technologies and elevate the maturity level of management, thereby addressing the identified deficiencies.
