Industrial symbiosis, a promising approach for sustainable industrial practices, has garnered attention in recent days for its ability to enhance resource efficiency, minimize waste, and preserve the environment through collaborative exchanges among industries. In emerging economies like Bangladesh, integrating industrial symbiosis in the manufacturing industries offers the potential to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability. However, this integration encounters various barriers that complicate the implementation. Despite research on industrial symbiosis in robust economies, studies on emerging and developed economies are still scarce. To date, no research has yet investigated the barriers hindering the performance of industrial symbiosis in the Bangladeshi apparel manufacturing sector. To address this gap, this study integrates the Bayes theorem and the Best-Worst Method to identify and prioritize barriers to the Bangladeshi apparel manufacturing sector. From extensive literature reviews and expert validation, 17 barriers were identified. Findings reveal the "lack of technology and infrastructure readiness" as the most significant barrier, followed by "lack of inter-company cooperation" and "lack of management support". Conquering these barriers empowers emerging economies to fortify the apparel manufacturing sector's resilience, resource efficiency, and environmental performance while fostering sustainable development via circular economy practices. This study is expected to guide policymakers and stakeholders in crafting targeted strategies for promoting steady growth and sustainable development in the apparel manufacturing sector of emerging economies like Bangladesh.
产业共生是一种颇具前景的可持续产业实践方法，近年来因其能够通过产业间的协作交流提高资源效率、减少浪费并保护环境而受到关注。在孟加拉国等新兴经济体中，将产业共生融入制造业有潜力在经济增长与环境可持续性之间取得平衡。然而，这种融合面临各种障碍，使实施过程变得复杂。尽管在发达经济体中对产业共生有相关研究，但对新兴经济体和发达经济体的研究仍然匮乏。迄今为止，尚无研究调查阻碍孟加拉国服装制造业产业共生绩效的障碍。为填补这一空白，本研究整合贝叶斯定理和最佳 - 最差方法，以识别并确定孟加拉国服装制造业的障碍优先级。通过广泛的文献综述和专家验证，确定了17个障碍。研究结果表明，“缺乏技术和基础设施准备”是最主要的障碍，其次是“缺乏公司间合作”和“缺乏管理支持”。克服这些障碍能够使新兴经济体增强服装制造业的复原力、资源效率和环境绩效，同时通过循环经济实践促进可持续发展。本研究有望指导政策制定者和利益相关者制定有针对性的战略，以促进孟加拉国等新兴经济体服装制造业的稳定增长和可持续发展。
