### Identification of CE Implementation Barriers
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c l l} \hline \hline
**S.no** & **Barriers Name** & **Brief Description** & **Reference** \\ \hline B1 & Consumers’ lack of knowledge and awareness about reused/recycle & This barrier refers to customer attitudes and knowledge toward fashion on recycling methods. & [77; 78; 79; 80; 81] \\ \hline B2 & High purchasing cost of environmentally friendly materials & This barrier refers to the general public that would endorse, be obligated, and be engaged in purchasing eco-friendly clothing. & [77; 78; 81] \\ \hline B3 & Lack of successful business models and frameworks to implement CE & This barrier refers to the absence of guidelines and models on refurbishment and recycling performance assessment. & [77; 79; 81] \\ \hline B4 & Lack of support supply and demand network & This barrier refers to measures of the complexity throughout the supply chain (specifically in its logistical, financial, and legal aspects), which, in turn, affect the value chain of a product, process, or service. Therefore, the need to close the traditional supply chain loop can cause significant dynamic complexity and deep uncertainty. & [79; 81; 77; 82] \\ \hline B5 & Obstructing laws and regulations & This barrier indicates the obstructive laws and regulations and unsupportive laws on waste management from government authorities. & [77; 78; 79; 80; 81; 82] \\ \hline B6 & Design challenge to reuse and recovery products & This barrier refers to the firms facing problems related to the quality of products in circulation containing recycled materials or products being refurbished. & [77; 78; 79; 80; 81] \\ \hline B7 & Limited availability and quality of recycling material & This barrier includes technological limitations to tracking recycled materials as well as in maintaining the quality of products made from recovered materials, in designing reused and recovered products, and ensuring a safe return to the biosphere. & [77; 78; 80; 81; 82] \\ \hline B8 & Lack of an information exchange system between different stakeholders & This barrier refers to the role of information in the implementation of CE at an optimal efficiency, and the lack of an information exchange system between different stakeholders. & [77; 80; 81; 82] \\ \hline B9 & Unclear vision in regards of CE & This barrier indicates a lack of standardization, recycling policies in waste management that fail to result in high-quality recycling, and results in an unclear vision regarding CE. & [79] \\ \hline B10 & Insufficient internalization of external costs & This barrier is identified as the limited funding for circular business models, insufficient internalization of external costs, difficulties in establishing correct product prices, high upfront investment costs, high short-term costs but low short-term economic benefits, limited availability and quality of recycled materials, high cost of environmentally friendly materials, and increasing production costs. & [77] \\ \hline B11 & High short-term costs and low short-term economic benefits & This barrier refers to the affordability of circular products which is undermined when the price of virgin materials is much less than that of environmentally friendly materials and when the costs of manufacturing circular products are increasing. Textile recycling is limited to low-value applications because of the substantial variation in the composition of different types of fibers, dyestuffs, and chemicals used in finishing. & [77; 78; 82] \\ \hline B12 & Make the right decision to implement CE in the most efficient way & This barrier indicates that decisions requiring new sustainable production and close partnerships are essential in the development process of technical solutions considering the requirement to communicate with industry stakeholders regarding these strategies. & [77; 78; 82] \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}
