PurposeThe execution of product recovery strategies and the definition of an adequate system to manage its performance are crucial to move toward the employment of a successful circular economy (CE) concept. Defining strategies for the efficient management of product recovery requires product data that is difficult to obtain, making it harder to handle. However, efficient product recovery management can play a key role in shifting companies from a linear economy model to a more sustainable CE model, providing economic benefits and increasing customer satisfaction by recovering and adding value to the discarded product. Therefore, this study aims to provide better models to support decision-making and to evaluate product recovery performance.Design/methodology/approachThe present study highlights a comprehensive two-stage decision approach to identify and examine the relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) for performance improvement of an information facilitated product recovery system (IFPRS) in a CE context. In the first phase, a structural equation modeling (SEM) methodology is adopted to categorize the KPIs by employing exploratory factor analysis and measurement of the model fit is obtained using the confirmatory factor analysis. Further, in the second phase, the KPIs are ranked and prioritized on the basis of expert’s recommendations adopting fuzzy-technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS).FindingsEmpirical investigation is conducted by compiling data from an association of six decision-makers (DMs) and two DMs from a respective prospect. The results highlight that “Technology Capacity” is ranked as the highest and is the most prominent KPI for successful employment of IFPRS practices. The results of the study would benefit policy makers and company directors in the selection of KPIs based on their importance in a context of high competition and greater pressure to adopt sustainable practices in the management of their companies.Originality/valueAs far as the authors know, no study has been performed till date to identify and construct a structural KPIs model for IFPRS performance improvement in the context of CE. The paper, therefore, proposes a two-phase SEM-TOPSIS technique to measure the impact of KPIs which is a new integration in the existing literature. The results of the study would benefit policy makers and company directors in the selection of KPIs based on their importance in a context of high competition and greater pressure to adopt sustainable practices in managing their organizations.

Reversible logistics are complex to manage due to the uncertainty involved in the range of quality products, product return time, and return volume. The purpose of reversible logistics (RL) is to reduce the raw material, the material for reuse and to respect the environment, which fits into some activities and purposes of the circular economy (CE), although in a broader concept. The optimized reverse logistics (RL) demonstrated by world examples and different brands also lead to better supply chain visibility, leading to benefits. The optimized reverse logistics demonstrated by domestic examples case study 1 (for pellets) and case study 2 (for pallets) also lead to better supply chain visibility, leading to benefits. The studies explore the impact that decisions made in the supply chain phases have on the overall level of "circularity". Optimized reverse logistics produces financial benefits while positively impacting the environment and business culture. Optimized reverse logistics also leads to better supply chain visibility, leading to benefits such as cost savings, greater customer satisfaction, better customer retention, faster and better service and reduced losses, improved sense of reduction of brand and waste, and greater sustainability.

“…However, textile recycling remains limited due to the sector's many socioeconomic challenges. The CE is the method of converting supply chain (SC) operations from a linear to a circular production/business model, through which used/waste materials and components are reintroduced by the SC through a closed-loop system by reusing, recycling, remanufacturing, reconstruction, and refurbishing as a way of recapturing inventory and reducing negative impacts [70,71]. With the adoption of CE strategies, waste generation from manufacturing can be reduced by a significant amount, (1) as well as CE implementation barriers to the creation of innovative sustainable business models.…”

Continuous improvement and innovation are solid foundations for the textile sector to maintain excellent growth and active sustainability. As the limited resources possessed by textile companies generally result in the incapability of implementing circular economy (CE) strategies simultaneously, recently, researchers advocate that organizations should analyze the influential inter-relationship between key barriers to explore the more dominant determinants for designing improved actions for implementing CE in the textile sector. CE implementation in the textile sector appears to be in its infancy. Although much attention has been paid to CE implementation barriers, the present study tries to fill this research gap by analyzing the causal relationships among the CE barriers in the textile sector. Therefore, the twelve barriers are identified by an extensive literature review, and the application of the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) based on the expert options from the textile sector. Subsequently, the causal inter-relationship among the key CE barriers is based on expert opinions using the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). The results of this study indicate that three key barriers require quick action: “consumers lack knowledge and awareness about reused/recycle (B1)”, “lack of successful business models and frameworks to implement CE (B3)”, and “lack of an information exchange system between different stakeholders (B8)”. In addition, the results provide significant managerial implications, including implementations of CE in the textile sector. Not only should the government build regulations and friendly laws and encourage environmentally-friendly materials but the textile companies should also focus or monitor the recycling methods and quality to overcome the CE implementation issues. In addition, this study contributes to the textile sector transition toward CE by using the novel methodology for determining and prioritizing the key barriers. Finally, this work would help top management and the practitioners to better design effective infrastructural strategies for the textile sector transition towards CE.
