A green product is differentiated from similar products through an augmented sustainability feature, such as being produced with less environmental harm of having a smaller environmental impact upon disposal. The case of Stonyfield organic yogurt and the company’s founders, Samuel Kaymen and Gary Hirshberg, illustrate the challenges of selling green products.
