“…Full understanding of various critical success factors is vital for adopting SCP linked with CE successfully; otherwise, it may lead to heavy losses for an organization (Kumar et al, 2020). Various sources like literature and experts' input can be utilized to identify various CSFs.…”

“…• It was found that almost all the studies presented SCP and CE as separate concept and the studies were based either on SCP or CE (Bhandari et al, 2019;Cohen & Munoz, 2016;Ranta et al, 2018). • It was found that most of the researchers identified the various drivers for adoption of SCP and CE, but very few modeled them into framework to understand the interrelationship among them (Kumar et al, 2020;Luthra et al, 2019;Yadav et al, 2018). • For successful adoption of SCP linked with CE, the understanding should be developed by considering all the key factors, i.e., government, management, consumers, suppliers, society, environment, economy, workforce, quality standards, availability of funds and technological advancement.…”

Scarcity of natural resources and increasing level of pollution have put the survival of human in trouble. This situation has compelled the world to think about the solutions to maintain environmental harmony along with industrial and economic growth. Adopting sustainable consumption and production (SCP) linked with circular economy (CE) can work as a key solution. But adopting SCP linked with CE is not a simple task, as it may lead to heavy losses to organization, if not adopted properly. So there is a requirement of developing full understanding about the various critical success factors (CSFs) to achieve the goal of SCP. In this research study, the efforts have been made to identify various CSFs to adopt SCP linked with CE. As a result, total twenty-seven CSFs have been identified with the help of literature and experts' inputs. All the twenty-seven CSFs were analyzed using fuzzy DEMATEL methodology to quantify interrelationship among them. The results revealed that population control, firm committed government, firm focused top management, full financial backup, policies formation and technology up-gradation are the main causal factors and improved safety, reliability, quality, repairing-remanufacturing, full utilization of resources and maintaining ecological-economic balance are the main factors under effect group in adoption of SCP linked with CE. This framework will be helpful for government, policy makers and managers in maintaining societal and environmental harmony along with economic growth.Keywords Sustainable consumption and production (SCP) • Circular economy (CE) • Critical success factors • Fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL)

“…Studies show that improved communication helps in attaining a competitive edge by improving customer satisfaction while reducing the cost of operations [65,67]. Many contributions in literature have highlighted that the managers' commitment towards sustainable practice is key for their effective implementation and success [68][69][70]. Studies show that an effective management of the supply chain is needed that can be most briefly characterized as integrating suppliers, producers, distributors, and customers in order to guide the longterm action of companies [62,71].…”

To discover how the lacquerware industry realizes its core competency, it is important to explore its upgrading strategies in the global value chains. The purpose of this study is to discuss the upgrading strategies applied during the lacquerware industry’s four economic stages and the approach to realize the industry’s sustainability. Results show that (1) OEM enterprises reach process upgrading with four strategies, ODM enterprises reach product upgrading with five strategies, OBM enterprises reach functional upgrading with four strategies, and OSM enterprises reach chain upgrading with two strategies; (2) the lacquerware industry‘s main elements in SSCM include the long-standing relations, reprocessing of defective products, employing the local community, and participation in regional and transregional development initiatives, wherein the design sector is the main link in the SSCM of the lacquerware. The result and implications provided by this study can serve as a reference for other lacquerware and local traditional handicraft industries that are seeking to upgrade and achieve sustainability during their economic development.

“…The increase in global warming and pollution levels pressurises all countries to improve their environmental policies to achieve sustainable development (Kumar et al, 2020). The automotive sector in India is increasing efforts in adopting sustainability initiatives such as CE; however, implementation is still uneven because of a lack of awareness of the roadblocks hindering it.…”

“…The Indian automobile sector is a leading competitor in the international automobile arena. Indian automobile companies are the world's fourth‐largest manufacturers of passenger cars and seventh‐largest manufacturers of commercial vehicles, as presented in the report of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) (Kumar, Mathiyazhagan, & Mathivathanan, 2020). The growing demand for vehicles leads to the heavy fabrication of vehicles, which consumes an enormous amount of water, energy and resources, thereby increasing carbon emissions.…”

Analysing the roadblocks of circular economy adoption in the automobile sector: Reducing waste and environmental perspectives

et al. 2020

The automobile industry is one of the most rapidly growing sectors in our society. The increase in demand for vehicles drives the growth of the automobile sector worldwide. Fabrication of vehicles consumes an enormous amount of water, energy and resources, thereby increasing carbon emissions. Nonbiodegradable and manufacturing waste after the end of life usage results in a significant contribution to incineration, landfills, air acidification and water eutrophication. The adoption of circular economy (CE) initiatives can play a significant role in dealing with increasing waste and environmental pollution. The main goal of CE is to recycle and reuse materials to reduce waste and also to minimise environmental impacts. This article strongly supports the adoption of CE in the Indian automobile industry. For the successful adoption of CE in the Indian automobile sector, first, it is important to analyse roadblocks to the adoption. Twenty potential roadblocks towards the adoption of CE have been identified from a literature review and in consultation with experts in the field. To capture the vagueness of the data and to carry out a robust analysis, a Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method with Fuzzy theory is employed. The results reveal that roadblock ‘lacking ability to deliver high‐quality remanufactured products’ is ranked first among all considered roadblocks. This study will help the Indian automobile industry, decision makers, research practitioners and government officials develop effective strategies for adopting CE in Indian automobile companies. A sensitivity analysis has been conducted to validate the stability of results.
