Novel Strategic Framework between Polymer Manufacturers and Waste Management Companies: A Mixed-Method Approach for Enhancing Circular Efficiency in Polymer IndustriesBy Nibedita Ghow, Amrita Nath, Pravin Kumar
Abstract: The study describes the perspectives of the industry stakeholders and qualitatively and quantitatively assesses the recycling efficiency, cost optimization, and environmental performance using a mixed-method approach. The framework features processes, as it were: onboard invention, coupling, and sustainable valorization of the intersection, thus solidly connecting the production side with the waste management. The primary function of the patterns of interaction between the plant waste-management system, the retrieval of polymer composites, …

Sustainable Supply Chain Models for Polymer and Composite Manufacturing: A Data-Driven Assessment of Circular Material FlowsBy Vivek Hamal, Pravin Kumar, Sarita Murmu, Aparna Chakraborty, Saheb Debnath
Abstract: Polymer and composite manufacturing is faced with growing demands in waste reduction, resource management, and making a shift towards circular economy principles. Although urgent, the adoption of data-driven tools in each step of a supply chain to facilitate efficient cyclic material flows is low. This paper designs and empirically analyzes sustainable supply chain design in polymer and composite production with a focus on digital traceability, closed-loop and material recovery, and …
