“…Industry 4.0 aims to maximize productivity and minimize waste, so green technologies are seen as a key component of Industry 4.0 [75]. Industry 4.0 technologies such as 3D printing, robots, IoT and big data reduce the amount of business resources required [76]. Thanks to these technologies, it is possible to expect a shortening of innovation cycles, but with regard to general environmental objectives [77].…”

“…Thanks to these technologies, it is possible to expect a shortening of innovation cycles, but with regard to general environmental objectives [77]. The combination of the terms Industry 4.0 and green process can also be seen in reverse logistics, i.e., product management at the end of the product life cycle [78,79], or lean manufacturing [76,80].…”

Green processes are very important for the implementation of green technologies in production to achieve positive sustainability outcomes in the Industry 4.0 era. The scope of the paper is to review how conventional green processes as a part of Industry 4.0 provide sustainability outcomes in manufacturing. The paper is based on the methodology of systematic literature review through the content analysis of literary resources. Twenty-nine studies were included in our content analysis. The results show the main focus of current literature related to Industry 4.0, sustainability outcomes and green processes. The authors present a conceptual Sustainability Green Industry 4.0 (SGI 4.0) framework that helps to structure and evaluate conventional green processes in relation to Industry 4.0 and sustainability. The study summarizes which technologies (big data, cyber-physical systems, Industrial Internet of Things and smart systems) and green processes (logistics, manufacturing and product design) are important for achieving a higher level of sustainability. The authors found that the most often common sustainability outcomes are energy saving, emission reduction, resource optimalization, cost reduction, productivity and efficiency and higher economic performance, human resources development, social welfare and workplace safety. The study suggests implications for practice, knowledge and future research.
