Sustainable manufacturing adoption in textile industries: A systematic state‐of‐art literature review and future research outline

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate and review the sustainable manufacturing (SM) adoption research conducted in textile industries, from 2007 to May 2022. The search term is "SM adoption in the textile industry" in their phrases and titles. Find the number of dimensions including publishing years, country, journal, publishing houses, research design, methods, data analysis, and MCDM methods. This study attempts to provide an overview of the 172 articles, which have been searched with the keyword "SM adoption in the textile industry" in the phrases and the title. The articles were searched from world-renowned publishers, such as Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, Wiley, Emerald, Inderscience, Springer link publication, and so forth. The articles searched are peer-reviewed and included in Scopus, science citation index, science citation index expanded, emerging source citation index, web of science, and so forth. The categorization of the data of the current study has also been compared with available literature. These studies are mainly focused on ecological protection, eco-friendly textile materials, effective land, and water utilization, social, as well as saving natural resources. SM adoption is the key initiative needed for a better environment, human life, and sustainability. This study enhances the understanding of current benefits of cutting-edge research and what dimensions need to be examined for adoption of SM in the textile industry. This study also provides a discussion on various gaps and future opportunities that require to be addressed for a better understanding of SM adoption in the textile manufacturing sector.

How organizational readiness for green innovation, green innovation performance and knowledge integration affects sustainability performance of exporting firms

“…The textile sector leaves substantial environmental footprints due to resource-intensive processes but exhibits a varying commitment to sustainability (Gai et al , 2022). Compliance with international standards and regulations is essential for market access, and rising consumer awareness has driven many firms to adopt eco-friendly practices; however, there is a limited focus on how the textile industry can effectively embrace green innovation and improve sustainability performance (Hayat et al , 2020; Chourasiya et al , 2023). The textile industry faces unique challenges, such as resource-intensive processes and complex global supply chains, requiring specialized investigation (Todeschini et al , 2017).…”
