Considering environmental sustainability in the apparel supply chain, the aim
of this manuscript is to describe the current trends, such as efficient energy
consumption, reuse and recycling, green design and life cycle design, life
cycle assessment, reverse logistics, green supplier, green branding, and green
marketing considering clean manufacturing and green supply chain management
(GSCM) practices for the green apparel supply chain. The primary focus is on
the description of clean manufacturing and GSCM practices. Finally, challenges
and future research directions are revealed. So, the contribution of this paper
may provide equal benefits for both researchers and practitioners.
