Abstract	As global environmental concerns rise, academic libraries are reimagining traditional resource management strategies through the lens of sustainability. This paper explores the concept of green collection policies, which integrate environmental responsibility into collection development, acquisition, weeding, preservation, and digital access. It highlights how academic libraries can contribute to ecological well-being while maintaining scholarly rigor and access. Through literature review, case studies, and policy analysis, the paper presents a framework for redefining resource management in alignment with green practices, advocating for environmentally sustainable and economically viable library ecosystems.
