Abstract

The study describes the perspectives of the industry stakeholders and qualitatively and quantitatively assesses the recycling efficiency, cost optimization, and environmental performance using a mixed-method approach. The framework features processes, as it were: onboard invention, coupling, and sustainable valorization of the intersection, thus solidly connecting the production side with the waste management. The primary function of the patterns of interaction between the plant waste-management system, the retrieval of polymer composites, and government regulation is, as such, to produce a substantial decrease in polymer footprints. Economic modeling in the framework reveals how the partnership will support circular strategies at the industry level. The proposed strategic framework is in itself a resource of actionable pathways for polymer firms, regulators, and waste handlers, who are eager to join profit with eco-friendly care. The study concludes that a mixed-method approach provides a comprehensive and advanced perspective of how strategic cooperation can impact the concept of circular efficiency in polymer industries. And emphasizes the role continuous improvement plays due to the fact that the technologies are dynamic and the regulatory environments are dynamic, which justifies why partners should be integrated when it comes to ensuring the long-term viability of polymer value chains.

Keywords: Mixed-method framework, Polymer recycling efficiency, Circular economy strategies, Sustainable waste-management partnerships, Environmental performance optimization.
