| dc.description.abstract | This study id identifies factors that inhibit green
practice implementation in the leather tanning SME
industry in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. These external 2nd
internal barriers were identified during interview with
representatives from a number of leather tanning SMEs
and industry experts. The results show that SMEs in this
sector adopt only a limited level of environmental
practices. Internal barriers to green adopt ion included
insufficient resources and infrastructure, low-skilled
human resources, poor financial capability, low
awareness, and poor organization a l strategies. The
external barriers are significant; however, inadequate law
enforcement and government support, a small and limited
market segment, and the lack of green chemicals
contribute also toward these poor practices. To deal with
these problems, this research proposes eight strategies to
tackle the obstacles that prevent the implementation of
Ieather tanning green practices . | id |
