Synopsis

Small enterprises form the backbone of the global economy, accounting for the vast majority of businesses worldwide and providing livelihoods to millions. International organizations such as the OECD and the United Nations have emphasized that these enterprises also hold significant potential to support sustainable development, particularly when environmental responsibility is integrated into innovation and marketing practices. This research explores how green product innovation and sustainable marketing enable small enterprises and small-scale industries to contribute meaningfully to sustainability while remaining economically viable. The study begins by examining green innovation in small businesses, closely aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Through qualitative analysis and an in-depth interview with the founder of The Bag, the research illustrates how sustainability is embedded in product design through material reuse, eco-friendly packaging, durability, and waste reduction. Although challenges such as rising raw material costs and price sensitivity persist, the findings show that flexible, purpose-driven enterprises are well positioned to respond to growing demand for sustainable products. Consumer awareness and education emerge as critical drivers of long-term adoption. The second part of the research presents real-world case studies of Maharaj and Aulerth. Maharaj demonstrates how biodegradable tableware made from dry palm leaves supports circular economy principles through local sourcing and zero-waste processes. Aulerth highlights how recycled materials, ethical sourcing, eco-conscious packaging, and social initiatives can successfully position sustainability within the luxury market. Overall, the study reinforces growing evidence from global sustainability reports that small enterprises play a vital role in shaping responsible consumption patterns. By blending innovation, ethics, and strategic marketing, they can reduce environmental impact, influence consumer behavior, and contribute steadily to long-term sustainable development.
