Barriers to the Adoption of Circular Economy Business Models in the Indian Textile Industry
通过两阶段访谈识别出印度纺织业采纳循环经济商业模式的22个主要障碍，并分析其关系，发现缺乏行业特定培训是最关键障碍，为发展中国家可持续纺织研究提供补充。
ABSTRACT The Indian textile industry has significant negative impacts on the environment. This industry needs to adopt a circular economy approach to become more sustainable; however, progress on this has been limited. In this study, we report on the barriers to adoption of Circular Economy Business Models (CEBMs) in the Indian textile industry. We used qualitative research techniques using data from interviews collected in two stages. In the first stage we identified 22 major barriers; in the second stage, we explored the relationships between them. We used T2NN‐DEMATEL supplemented by K ‐means cluster analysis to analyze our data. Our findings indicate that the lack of textile industry‐specific training programs is the most significant barrier to CEBM adoption in India. We offer several recommendations to address the major barriers. Scholarship pertaining to sustainability in the textile industry in India and other developing countries is scarce; our study provides a significant addition.
