Abstract: 
This study reviews the role of Industry 4.0 technologies—such as IoT, AI, big data analytics, cyber-physical systems, and digital twins—in achieving manufacturing sustainability. These technologies enhance efficiency, optimize resources, and reduce environmental impact, aligning with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030. Despite their significance, limited research comprehensively examines their sustainability implications. The review identifies current research trends, explores key technological contributions, and highlights future research opportunities. The role and impact of different Industry 4.0 technologies for manufacturing sustainability is discussed in detail. The findings of this study provide new research scopes and future research directions in different research areas of Industry 4.0 which will be valuable for industry and academia to achieve manufacturing sustainability with Industry 4.0 technologies.
