Green manufacturing encompasses eco-friendly, energy-efficient manufacturing processes and resource preservation practices to make green products and services. Focus of lean systems is on creating efficient manufacturing through wastage reduction. It consists of many best practices for efficient and effective utilization of resources. Lean practices include quality circle, kaizen, Total Quality Management (TQM) etc. For sustainable environment, fusion of lean and green manufacturing is essential. Organizations can ease environment burdens effectively by following the integrated green lean practices and strategy. Sustainable green lean system demands an integrated structure of supporting practices. Many green as well as lean practices exist and being practiced in various industries. In this research the critical lean practices focused on environment are only considered. The set of lean practices act as enablers for sustainable implementation of green lean system. The purpose of this paper is to categorize and describe integrated Green–Lean (GL) practices in particular bundles.
