Abstract :Sustainable manufacturing consists of environmental protection, profitability and societal benefit for all  industrial areas. Manufacturing practices are investigated for optimize production efficiency while minimizing  environmental impact and maintaining social equity. It can be achieved through changes in products, processes  and systems related to the sustainability issues. In sustainable manufacturing process, the natural resources  which are key elements of sustainability must be used prudently by academic, scientific, cultural and human  organizations. In this context, sustainable machining can be defined as a process which has been performed of  sustainable manufacturing by using alternative machining technologies such as cryogenic machining, high  pressure jet assisted machining. Sustainable machining investigates the conflict and synergy between  economical and environmental considerations as well as the effect of system boundaries in determining  optimum machining conditions. This paper presents a general evaluation on the importance of sustainable  machining technologies in obtaining sustainable manufacturing objectives.
