Increasing concerns about environmental problems such as global warming, reduction of biodiversity, air pollution and depletion of natural resources have increased the pressure on entrepreneurs to take care of the environment in their activities. It can be said that ecopreneurship, which emphasizes the connection between entrepreneurship and sustainable development, emerged in the early 1990s as a phenomenon that aims to maximize economic and environmental goals simultaneously. Although ecopreneurship has been accepted as a field of knowledge since the 1990s, there has been no consensus in the literature on meaning and motivator factos of ecopreneurship. Depending on this situation, many eco-entrepreneurship typologies have emerged in the literature that take into account various criteria. While the problem of the research is the ecopreneurship typologies developed in the literature, the question of the research focuses on the different aspects of the related typologies. In this context, the study aims to reveal the main criteria (according to similar characteristics) ecopreneurship typologies based on the diversity in ecopreneurship definitions and to show the differences between the typologies. As a result of the literature review, it has been determined that ecopreneurship typologies take into account the internal and external dimensions of the organization, while the internal-dimensional typologies also deal with ecopreneurship at the individual level to a large extent.
