Abstract
The recent rise of greening as a corporate issue forms a part of what some researchers see as the emergence of a new green techno-economic paradigm (Kemp, 1994; Freeman, 1992).

This paradigm change is expected to have thorough structural effects for the whole economy. But how does this green trend, pushed forward by the political system, diffuse on the market and affect interfirm dynamics?
