Circular supplier selection is the process of selecting suppliers in a closed-loop supply chain. Sustainable circular supplier selection addresses the social and environmental concerns in circular supplier selection problems. In this paper, for the first time, we combine the fuzzy best-worst method and the interval VIKOR technique to evaluate and prioritize sustainable suppliers in circular supply chains. The evaluation criteria are classified into three categories of economic, social, and circular factors extracted based on the domain expert's opinions. The fuzzy best-worst method is used to weigh the criteria, and the interval VIKOR technique is applied to evaluate the suppliers in the presence of uncertainty. This study contributes to the sustainable development goals (SDG's) of providing Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8) and Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12). The proposed method is then used to evaluate six suppliers in the wire-and-cable industry in Iran. The results obtained from the implementation of the proposed approach and its sensitivity analysis indicate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed approach.
循环供应商选择是闭环供应链中选择供应商的过程。可持续循环供应商选择解决了循环供应商选择问题中的社会和环境问题。在本文中，我们首次将模糊最优最差方法和区间 VIKOR 技术结合起来，用于评估和优先考虑循环供应链中的可持续供应商。评估标准分为三类，分别是基于领域专家意见提取的经济、社会和循环因素。模糊最优最差方法用于加权标准，区间 VIKOR 技术用于在存在不确定性的情况下评估供应商。本研究有助于实现可持续发展目标（SDG），提供体面工作和经济增长（SDG 8）和负责任的消费和生产（SDG 12）。然后，该方法用于评估伊朗电线电缆行业的六家供应商。从实施提出的方法及其敏感性分析中获得的结果表明了该方法的适用性和效率。
