Abstract

The production industry is the backbone of the contemporary economy. By examining the scholarly literature, this research aims to reexamine the idea of a production-centered circular economy system. Its goal is to determine if the difficulties around this idea have changed through time and whether applicable examples have appeared. The main goal is to examine the major barriers and enablers that promote or prevent the adoption of a circular economy in the context of Indian manufacturing. In our investigation, we found 22 enablers and 37 barriers to the circular economy in Indian industry. These conclusions were reached by examining how often certain events occurred in study publications. The identified barriers and enablers have all been grouped into six groupings as a result. A survey questionnaire was created and sent to respondents, who included managers, owners, engineers, and supervisors in the Indian manufacturing industry, in order to verify these barriers and enablers. To guarantee a high response rate, these surveys were sent out through email and delivered personally to businesses in the area. The main goal was to direct responders towards making clear-cut selections that were informed. The information gathered came from individuals with a range of manufacturing industry experience, from one year to a maximum of forty years. Notably, a sizable share of India's industrial sector is made up of small and medium-sized businesses.
