In general, findings in this study have proven that the adoption of green manufacturing lead to improve environmental sustainability. However, in-depth investigation found that cleaner production is the single practice of green manufacturing that would improve environmental sustainability.Beside contribute to enhance body of knowledge in the field of sustainability and sustainable manufacturing, this study is valuable in promoting the importance of green manufacturing practice to preserve the environment sustainability among SMEs in manufacturing sector.
