Abstract: Under the influence of circular economy theory, waste clothing recycling has been widely studied in the resource sector, and the waste clothing recycling channel (WCRC) is the vital link that affects the recycling efficiency of waste clothing. How to select the optimal WCRC is considered a typical multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. In this article, we develop sine trigonometric interaction operational laws (IOLs) (STIOLs) using Pythagorean fuzzy information. The sine trigonometric interaction Pythagorean fuzzy weighted averaging (STI-PyFWA) and sine trigonometric interaction Pythagorean fuzzy weighted geometric (STI-PyFWG) operators are advanced, and their several desirable properties are discussed. Further, we build a MAGDM framework based on the modified Pythagorean fuzzy CoCoSo (Combined Compromise Solution) method to solve the WCRC selection problem. The combined weight of attributes is determined, and the proposed aggregation operators (AOs) are applied to the CoCoSo method. A Pythagorean fuzzy distance measure is used to achieve the defuzzification of aggregation strategies. Finally, we deal with the WCRC selection problem for a sustainable environment by implementing the proposed method and performing sensitivity analysis and comparative study to validate its effectiveness and superiority.
