The worsening environmental issues have called for more thoroughgoing technological, institutional and social transformations taking place in the world. Green industry is seen as one of them. Investments and research development in green technology and green products are remedial actions to reduce environmental deterioration.

A total sample of 204 green product users was collected through self-administrative questionnaires in Melaka, Malaysia.
