摘要

This is what the evolving nature of supply chain management calls for: a change from the old linear production-consumption-waste model toward more sustainable ones, in light of resource depletion and environmental concerns. The textile industry is among the biggest producers of consumer goods and has heavily contributed to environmental degradation through huge volumes of textile waste, especially synthetic fibers that are accumulating in landfills. The lack of arable land coupled with the restraints on producing natural fibers on account of competing claims for food farming further validates the need for an integration of CSCM in their functions. This paper discusses in detail the major challenges that prohibit CSCM in India’s textile industry. Using the ISM approach, these relationships among the 16 barriers identified were further researched to outline the context based on feedback from experienced professionals within that sector. The driving and dependency power of these barriers were assessed by MIC–MAC analysis to categorize them accordingly. An ISM-based hierarchical model was developed, and the two most critical barriers were identified as the absence of environmental laws and regulations, and insufficient industry motivation for adopting greener practices. These findings provide valuable insights into addressing key challenges for transitioning toward the sustainability in textile supply chain.
