“…In the study's second phase, the identified barriers are prioritised using a well-known MCDM method named the best-worst method BIJ 30,10 (BWM). Several other methods, such as AHP, ANP, WASPAS and DANP are also used to prioritise the barriers (Khan et al, 2020;Hossain and Thakur, 2020;Singh et al, 2022). BWM has some advantages over these methods, requiring fewer pairwise comparisons (Rezaei, 2015(Rezaei, , 2016Guo and Zhao, 2017); as the BWM only compares the barriers concerning the most significant barriers (best) and the least significant barriers (worst) with other barriers.…”

PurposeModern technologies are seen as an essential component of the fourth industrial revolution (industry 4.0) and their adoption is vital to transform the existing manufacturing system into industry 4.0-based manufacturing system. Therefore, the primary objective of this research explores the barriers of modern technology adoption and their mitigating solutions in order to align with Industry 4.0 objectives.Design/methodology/approachBarriers to adopting modern technologies and respective mitigating solutions are identified from the available literature. Further, these barriers are ranked with the help of expert opinions by using the BWM method appropriately. The identified solutions are ranked using the combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) method.FindingsSeveral modern technologies and their capabilities are recognised to support the industry 4.0-based manufacturing systems. This study identifies 22 barriers to the effective adoption of modern technologies in manufacturing and 14 solutions to overcome these barriers. Change management, the high initial cost of technology and appropriate support infrastructure are the most significant barriers. The most prominent solutions to overcome the most considerable barriers are ‘supportive research, development and commercialisation environment’, ‘updated policy and effective implementation’ and ‘capacity building through training’ that are the top three solutions that need to be addressed.Research limitations/implicationsThe barriers and solutions of modern technology adoption are obtained through a comprehensive literature review, so there is a chance to ignore some significant barriers and their solutions. Furthermore, ranking barriers and solutions is done with expert opinion, which is not free from biases.Practical implicationsThis identification and prioritisation of barriers will help managers to understand the barriers so they can better prepare themselves. Furthermore, the suggested solutions to overcome these barriers are helpful for the managers and could be strategically adopted through optimal resource utilisation.Originality/valueThis study proposes a framework to identify and analyse the significant barriers and solutions to adopting modern technologies in the manufacturing system. It might be helpful for manufacturing organisations that are willing to transform their manufacturing system into industry 4.0.

“…Internal drivers include for example organizational drivers, resource availability and optimization drivers, financial drivers, and product design and process development, all of which support the implementation of CE [ 31 ]. Organizational drivers may include factors such as good leadership, design strategies, innovation, research and development, and organizational infrastructure [ 32 , 33 ]. While internal drivers are factors that impel CE practices from inside an organization, external drivers on the other hand are the factors that drive CE practices from outside of an organization, including legislative and economic factors.…”

“…The increase in the related environmental problems [21][22][23] actualizes not only the need to develop a green mining strategy [24], green technologies for mineral enrichment [25], involving other sustainable technologies [26] but also a transition to a sustainable use of mineral resources based on circular economy models [27][28][29]. A circular economy implies the closure of resource flows without forming associated wastes [30][31][32]. This direction is the dominant tool in developing national strategies used for sustainable development all over the world [33].…”

Circular Mining Wastes Management for Sustainable Production of Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze

Mining operations have a significant negative impact on the surrounding ecosystems. The operation of mines and quarries creates a large amount of waste that accumulate and are practically unrecyclable in the environment. The involvement of these wastes in economic activity is an extremely urgent task. This can make the economy more sustainable and reduce its influence on ecosystems. This work presents the attempts of using quarry wastes as a fertilizer applied for growing tea crops. The novelty of this research involves revealing the quarry wastes as a fertilizer when growing Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze and assessing changes in the productivity of this plant when applying these calcium wastes. The waste of a quarry intended for extracting crushed stone was studied in this article. The composition of the waste was analyzed. Fertilizers used for manuring the soil were prepared based on the waste. Two experimental sites were selected. One of them was a control, where Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze was grown without using fertilizers. Fertilizers obtained from the waste were applied on the second site. The experimental work proceeded for 10 years. When discussing the results, special attention was paid to climatic conditions. This was caused by the need to show that it was the use of the fertilizer that influenced the change in the yield, not the climatic conditions. As a result of using calcium fertilizers based on the waste, the productivity of Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze was increased. The application of the fertilizers based on the quarry wastes was shown to provide an increase in the yield. The possibility of using calcium fertilizers to overcome unfavorable agroclimatic conditions during the tea cultivation was also demonstrated. To assess the climatic impact of applying new fertilizers, three-dimensional modeling in the “gnuplot v.5.4” software was used. As a result, an increase in the average annual precipitation, from 1000 to 1980 mm/year, in the range of the average annual air temperature, from 14 to 16 °C, was found to lead to an increase (when using a new fertilizer) in the yield of Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze up to 4.8 times (from 20 to 95 centner/ha). The results have shown that applying fertilizers based on the quarry wastes is also possible in unfavorable climatic conditions.
