have been used so successfully by certain regionslike the Third Italyin the PostFordist global economy (Sabel, 1994). FMNs are networks of small firms that, through cooperation, can take on tasks that normally could only be handled by large corporations. The creation of green economies requires the creation of green FMNs that combine cooperation with the conscious creation of bioregional economic relationships. The combination of eco-industrial organization, the selling of services, and reuse and design-for-disassembly, and EPR does not mean the economy of the future will be completely localized, but that a very different balance between global and local would ensue. According to Walter Stahel (1998), A service society will not solve all problems for society, and especially not the problems inherited from the past (e.g. pollution clean-up, unemployment of overspecialized production workers). Neither will it make the manufacturing sector disappear. But it could well restructure it, into firms manufacturing high volumes of global standardized components, and regional firms specialized on assembly, disassembly and re-manufacturing of products. This is a trend that can already be observed in electronics and aviation technology.
