ABSTRACT
The study investigates the relationship between green production, green technology, waste reduction, energy use, and sustainability. A Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was used for analysis. The data was collected from a sample of companies in the textile industry. The results suggest that green production and technology positively and significantly affect waste reduction and energy use, which mediates the positive relationship between these two factors and sustainability. This study concludes that green production and technology are critical drivers of sustainability and emphasizes the need to prioritize waste reduction and energy use in sustainable manufacturing practices. The study has practical and managerial implications in all production or manufacturing industries and provides a guideline for managers and policymakers to ensure sustainability.
