Multineutrosophic analysis of the impact of the circular economy on the regional supply chain
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This research was conducted to evaluate the influence of the circular economy on the sustainability of supply chains at the regional level through multineutrosophic theory for uncertainty in decision-making. Empirical analysis was performed through a quantitative and qualitative assessment, including a questionnaire completed by 50 regional companies, mathematical calculations based on neutrosophic theory, and a multineutrosophic assessment of the diverse input/output resource flows for supply chains associated with manufacturing and agricultural endeavors. The major results indicate that by incorporating aspects of the circular economy, recyclability/reusability of resources was 20% more effective and 15% less expensive to operate, while 30% of the responses that could not be applied were associated with underdeveloped infrastructure; in addition, the multineutrosophic approach gives assessing and prioritizing essential chain aspects to assist in better decision-making. Ultimately, it can be determined that the circular economy generates more robust and sustainable supply chains; operational problems require supportive public policy and technological investments to solve as the subject is most effective for developing areas with fewer resources.
