Abstract
Due to the increasing demand for green manufacturing and environmentally friendly products environmental performance evaluation (EPE) is now a necessity for manufacturing companies. Environmental performance evaluation is an internal process of any manufacturing organisation through which they can identify their environmental indicators (such as energy consumption, solid waste and reprocessed materials) with highest negative impact on the environment. Environmental performance evaluation is, in fact, an approach to Design for Environment, hence ideally it should be integrated with the Product Design activities to lead to green products; this is lacking in the current environmental performance evaluation methods. The environmental data from a textile manufacturing industry in Indonesia was conducted to validate the developed model. The case study demonstrated the applicability and usefulness of the model in helping the company continuously monitor and improve their negative environmental impacts.
