contents	Cleaner production and innovation theory. Social experiments as a new model to engage in cleaner production Hans Dieleman Ciencias de la Tierra innovation innovation theory cleaner production social experiments institutional learning This paper discusses the concept of cleaner production and proposes a new model tostimulate cleaner production. in the first section the historical development of cleanerproduction is sketched. It is indicated that the approach gained much attention in theearly ninety nineties, and generated an optimistic belief that cleaner production wassoon to become a new practice within industry. In the second section the results ofevaluation studies on cleaner production in Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealandare presented. These studies indicate that the rate of implementation of cleaner productionis much slower than anticipated in the early ninety nineties. Section three presentsvarious innovation theories. All of them help to explain why the rate of implementationis slower than anticipated, each pointing at slightly different aspects of cleaner productionas an innovation. In section four the various theories are combined. It is explainedhow processes within companies are interrelated with institutional arrangements outsidecompanies, such as legislation, education and knowledge transfer. Based on insights thecombination theories it is proposed to organize social experiments to stimulate cleanerproduction. These social experiments can be considered as a third generation modelto stimulate cleaner production, following the demonstration projects as the first generationand the regional network-based approach as the second generation. The socialexperiment is not to implement cleaner production in the narrow sense but to confrontactors more fundamentally with the consequences of cleaner production for their ownstandards and ways of working. It adds the element of social change in order to createa comfortable socio-technical cleaner production network. 2007 artículo científico 0188-4999 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37023204 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=370 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental (México) Num.2 Vol.23
