Therefore, the research objective is to analyze various factors affecting the sustainability of the competitive advantage of MSMEs in West Jakarta. Based on a prior study, three variables were selected, namely eco-innovation, eco-regulation, and green product behavior as determinants for sustainable competitive advantage. As many as 100 MSMEs were selected as respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected based on a questionnaire with quantitative analysis techniques using structural regression. Data processing using Smart-PLS with the following results: eco-regulation and green product behavior have a significant influence on sustainable competitive advantages. The influence of the formation of competitive advantage by the two variables is well perceived by business actors. Otherwise, eco-innovation has no significant effect on the sustainability of competitive advantage. Therefore, it is necessary to educate MSMEs to foster a sense of eco- innovation among MSMEs to support a green economy which ultimately contributes to the achievement of sustainable development. In the end, the collaboration of three variables as a mechanism to build a sustainable competitive advantage.
