Sažetak
This paper investigates the state of Green Manufacturing and Environmental Sustainability Manufacturing in Kosovo's SMEs and identifies barriers to implementation within the Small and Medium Enterprises of Kosovo's Manufacturing Industry. The study uses the Delphi survey method, semi-structured questionnaires and interviews as research instruments. The aim of this study is to identify factors that affect green manufacturing and the main barriers to its implementation. The analysis revealed that Energy, Pollution, Emissions, Waste, and Water are the most significant factors affecting Green Production in Kosovo's SMEs. The study finds that lack of training and expertise in Green Manufacturing Principles, weak organizational structures, and management hesitation towards adopting new practices are the main barriers to the implementation of Green Manufacturing Principles in Kosovo's SMEs. The paper concludes that technical support and training are essential for overcoming these barriers and promoting the implementation of Green Manufacturing Principles in Kosovo's SMEs.
