Abstract In this paper, based on the global DEA directional distance function and MML productivity index, environmental productivity and decomposition variables were measured by resources and environmental constraints of from 2001 to 2012 in China, and the driving factors of green productivity industries were analyzed by the dynamic GMM estimation methods. The main conclusions were as follows. The average growth rate of green productivity of 36 industrial sectors was 2.3% from 2001 to 2012, environmental total factor productivity was mainly due to the progress of green technology progress and scale efficiency. Environmental total factor productivity showed clean production industry, polluting industries, pollution intensive industries in descending order of the different development pattern. Between the technical differences of groups showed reduction in the overall trend. Communications equipment, computers and other electronic equipment manufacturing industry and Tobacco industry were pushing the outward expansion of the production frontier in each period. Dynamic analysis showed the scale economy of the input factors in the industrial sector. The reforms of Property Rights of industrial privatization and the adjustment of energy structure were conducive to enhancing the environmental productivity, capital deepening impacted on environmental productivity weakly. FDI inhibited the growth of environmental productivity, there was an inverted U - shaped relationship in environmental productivity efficiency and industry concentration. Heterogeneity of the technology of different groups had led to different effects on the environmental productivity.
