To attract investors and customers&nbsp;organizations need to practice environmental manufacturing. This study is focused to present the relationships&nbsp;between some specific environmental manufacturing practices and their relative specific competitive outcomes in&nbsp;the important and vast industry of garment’s knitting sector in Bangladesh. Although there are several studies on&nbsp;the impact of environmental practices on the organizations outcomes but they are less construable due to many&nbsp;limitations. This study explores the environmental manufacturing practices under two categories pollution&nbsp;prevention and product stewardship and shows their relative competitive outcomes and establishes the relation&nbsp;between them. Based on the surveys and research it is found that some competitive outcomes are positively&nbsp;affected by some of the practices. These findings are believed to motivate the companies to turn towards the green&nbsp;manufacturing.</p> ER -
