Abstract: The growing demands of the consumers in the modern society has resulted in many advancements in the field of material science and manufacturing technology. It has become a necessity to meet the increasing demands of the consumers. The increasing manufacturing sectors have negatively impacted the environment and its resources in terms of pollution and material wastages. Therefore, to save the environment and reduce the environmental impact, the concept of sustainable manufacturing or green manufacturing came into existence. This focuses on manufacturing processes with minimal wastage and lower environmental impact. Keeping this in mind, the present study focuses on an efficient and sustainable manufacturing technique of stir casting to fabricate the hybrid nanocomposite (HNC) of a binary Mg-2.5Zn alloy, reinforced with various weight percentages of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and hydroxyapatite (HAp). The Mg-based HNCs manufactured with enhanced mechanical characteristics endorses the green manufacturing technique due to minimal material wastage.
