Abstract
The textile industries, while important to employment and economic growth, also contribute to environmental damage. However, adopting a 'closed loop' production and supply chain model minimises environmental risks. Moreover, a circular framework in the textile sector will pace the path towards sustainability. So, the study explored sustainable production practices in the textile manufacturing units in Kerala based on the priority selections made by the manufacturers. The Fuzzy analytical hierarchy procedure application on the data gathered from 300 sample units from five cities of Kerala revealed that though the industries have consistent circular economic potentials, the majority exhibit inconsistency in their decisions to follow the sustainable production models.
