Abstract: The contemporary industrial revolution and CE primarily emphasize the need of a GSC for sustainability. The implementation of sustainable SC techniques in the textile sector, especially in developing nations such as Pakistan, presents significant challenges. The shift to a circular textile sector continues to encounter many obstacles. The present research identifies eight significant impediments to the application of GSC methods in Pakistan's textile sector concerning CE. This research aims to provide suggestions for enhancing innovations in Pakistan's textile sector. The government, in conjunction with corporate leaders, must comprehend the critical obstacles and formulate more effective CE initiatives. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among specialists for data collecting. The DEMATEL approach was used to assess the extent of impact and interaction among the obstacles, facilitating the cataloging of these barricades into cause / effect categories. The researchers propose mitigation solutions that include an infrastructure plan and a platform strategy to facilitate the transformation of Pakistan's textile sector towards CE. The results will assist industrial businesses in formulating plans for the implementation of GSCs to attain long-term sustainability.
