      abstract = {In this research, a comprehensive framework was developed to successfully incorporate green manufacturing principles into sustainable production systems in the Nigerian manufacturing industry. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, gathering quantitative data from 108 manufacturing companies and qualitative insights from six (6) senior managers. The study focused on four key green manufacturing principles: resource efficiency, waste minimization, energy optimization, and pollution prevention. Results showed that while there is a moderate level of awareness of these principles among Nigerian manufacturers, there are significant gaps in implementation, with only 5.6% of companies achieving full implementation. Among the four principles, resource efficiency had the highest adoption rates while energy optimization had the lowest implementation levels. Cost reduction was found to be the primary driver for implementation, followed by government regulations and management commitment. The main barriers to implementation were high investment costs, limited financial resources, and technical expertise gaps. Implementing green manufacturing practices led to notable environmental improvements, such as a 35% reduction in water consumption and a 60% decrease in landfill waste. The study also revealed significant social benefits, including improved worker health and safety. While economic benefits were also observed, they were more challenging to measure using existing systems. The study validated a theoretical framework that integrates concepts from various disciplines including Industrial Ecology, Cleaner Production, Circular Economy, and Life Cycle Thinking However; the study identified important contextual factors such as infrastructure limitations, regulatory inconsistencies and supply chain challenges that require adaptive implementation approaches. The results of future implementation analysis showed that 7.9% of companies will require such adaptive approaches.},
