Fifth Industrial Revolution’s main principle revolves around the integration of human ingenuity and artistry with advanced smart systems and automation. This integration seeks to enhance efficiency, increase productivity, and promote environmental sustainability within manufacturing processes. Unlike the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which was primarily dedicated to automation and data exchange, the fifth revolution embraces a more holistic methodology that values human intelligence and promotes sustainable practices. Sustainable manufacturing is a fluid concept that evolves alongside changing sustainability priorities and socioenvironmental trends. Initially, sustainable manufacturing was understood as a strategy to reduce negative environmental impacts of production activities. However, its definition has expanded to encompass broader goals related to sustainability, including efficient use of resources and the promotion of social well-being. The roadmap to sustainability driven by Industry 5.0 aims to enhance understanding about how the Fifth Industrial Revolution can facilitate sustainable development. It outlines strategies for managing the growth of its functions to maximize synergies and contributions to desired sustainability outcomes. The study highlights that smart products need to produce verifiable data to assist efforts in reaching net-zero carbon emissions and promoting a circular economy. The involvement of humans in the shift toward net-zero production is essential, as they can leverage improved access to information to make well-informed choices. This capability is further empowered by the use of intelligent products, which facilitate greater understanding and oversight in decision-making processes, ultimately driving progress toward sustainability goals.
