Abstract

This study conducts a systematic literature review to investigate the state of the art of Cleaner Production (CP) across various dimensions. First, we categorize and discuss CP practices within distinct domains, including Product Change, Change Input Materials, Technology Change, Reuse Material On‐site, and Improved Housekeeping. Subsequentially, we map and analyze the phases of CP implementation – including the planning, pre‐assessment, assessment, and implementation options – underscoring the pivotal role of senior management commitment, multidisciplinary teams, and employee training. Lastly, we delve into multiple facets of CP evaluation, covering corporate governance, measurement of CP practices, benefits of CP implementation, evaluation of CP projects, and the instruments employed. We also pinpoint contradictions and research gaps in the field and propose diverse avenues for future research. This research makes significant contributions by synthesizing, integrating and discussing existing CP categories, highlighting trends and gaps in the literature, and offering practical insights to industry practitioners, policymakers, and organizations.
