| Abstract | This study investigates the extent to which circular economy (CE) strategies can be used to implement Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the casting industries. The casting industry, which has been widely chastised for its environmental impact and depletion of valuable resources, has demonstrated signifcant potential for applying CE practices. Hence it is crucial to identify the critical barriers to implementing CE principles in casting industries and the correlation between the associated barriers in implementing CE principles and the shift towards achieving SDGs. Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) is deliberated here as an efcient way to determine the cause-efect chain elements of an intricate system. A total of nine experts were contacted for the expert values for the calculation. After the calculation, the interrelation between the barriers was found. |
