Abstract	The aim of this paper is to identify the level of green manufacturing implementation as well as to determine the impact of green manufacturing practice on business performance among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector. Employing survey based approach in quantitative method, this study distributes a set of questionnaire to get primary data from targeted respondents. In total, 120 responses were received from SMEs in Malaysia which come from a wide variety of manufacturing industries. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22. This study reveals that the level of green manufacturing implementation, represented by two environmental friendly practices, namely cleaner production and eco-efficiency, is still moderate. Generally, the adoption of green manufacturing by SMEs leads to improve business performance. However, further investigation of the effects of individual practice of green manufacturing, this study found that cleaner production is the single predictor of business performance. Targeting better environmental performance, the adoption of green manufacturing practices are important because such recyclable items and waste reduction practices can be beneficial to the business as a whole. This can increase their profits and reduce costs in the business.
