Abstract: The purpose of this study is to applying the planned behaviour theory in order to investigate the effects of consumer innovation process on green consumption behaviour among young consumers in Iran.

Sample size is determined according to Morgan's table which equals 379 and the participants are selected by convenience sampling method. Standard questionnaire was used for data collection. Data analysis is done by partial least squares with Smart PLS. Results showed that consumers' innovation has positive effects on attitude, observed behaviour control and mental norms of the consumers compared to the intention for green consumption. In addition, consumers' attitude has positive effects on mental norms and the intention for green consumption.
