Abstract: Green manufacturing (GM) has been garnering the attention of academia since the 1990s, with the evolution of many related concepts, as one of the most essential topics for human beings' sustainable development. After nearly three decades of growth, a general map of existing research is now required to reflect the major concepts and concerns at hand. A bibliometric analysis is used to do this. The main contribution of this research is to concentrate on the use and impact of lean and green manufacturing approaches. The manufacturing industry's frequent issues and misunderstandings are investigated. This study examines the parallels and benefits of both lean and green techniques. It enables industries to have a better grasp of the tools' use and challenges before moving on with the lean and green approach's actual deployment. This report also addresses potential research gaps related to the industry's need for an effective green implementation approach.

Keywords: green manufacturing; GM; sustainable manufacturing; lean and green; sustainability; manufacturing industry; green implementation.
