Abstract: While examining the potential synergies between green supply chain management (GSCM) and sustainable waste management (SWM), we aim to investigate the relationship between sustainable waste management and green supply chain practices to promote a circular economy as a strategy for achieving sustainability. To address a gap in our understanding, this study will examine how GSCM and SWM relate to one another and their effect on CE deployment’s long-term survival. The research utilized a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 50 respondents from manufacturing firms. The companies were selected using purposive sampling based on varying industry sizes and operations. The findings demonstrate considerable positive correlations among GSCM practices, SWM techniques, and CE adoption, making it evident that comprehensive sustainability methods are required. Stakeholder participation, circular business models, and better governmental frameworks to promote circularity are among the many recommendations. By providing empirical evidence for the connections between GSCM, SWM, and CE, this study contributes to the current body of knowledge. It emphasizes the value of all-encompassing sustainability strategies for reaping financial and environmental benefits.
