20.500.12556/DKUM-91329 Developing a framework for closed-loop supply chain and its impact on sustainability in the petrochemicals industry Companies rely on formulating, implementing, and monitoring strategies in social, environmental and economic aspects to ensure that they achieve their goals and keep abreast of developments related to sustainability requirements. Therefore, our study develops a system to integrate the closed-loop supply chain approach in the petrochemical sector. The research follows the quantitative-based approach by collecting data through a questionnaire directed to employees in the supply chain departments, including 230 questionnaires that were collected. Correlation and structural equation models (SEM) were used. This technique consists of multiple regression analysis and factor analysis and analyses the structural relationship between the underlying structures and the measured variables. The results indicated a significant relationship between the supply chains that have a loop from the following perspectives: economic motivations, customer awareness, environmental legislation, and sustainability. By increasing financial reasons, customer awareness and environmental legislation, sustainability will increase as they all move in the same direction. Therefore, the overall effect of a closed-loop supply chain is positive and significant. closed-loop supply chain petrochemicals cost effectivity product stewardship multiple regression analysis factor analysis sustainability zaprta dobavna veriga petrokemična sredstva stroškovna učinkovitost multipla regresijska analiza faktorska analiza trajnost true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-12-12 16:22:01 2024-12-12 16:27:58 2024-12-13 03:10:22 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 1-15 št. 6, št. članka 3265 Letn. 14 Mar. 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 2022-01-03 2022-03-09 2022-03-10 005.5 101018883 10.3390/su14063265 2071-1050 El-Sheikh_2022_Developing_a_Framework.pdf El-Sheikh_2022_Developing_a_Framework.pdf 1 E67601E2CEFC9D1BC643D42431594135 a162d7b75a7f827e00637a1c2c5895bf0c20ed306f572455351c5023648c90e2 998ca6dc-b89d-11ef-b21d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=187306 https://doi.org/10.3390/su14063265 1 d6ca01e6-b89c-11ef-b21d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=187305 Fakulteta za logistiko Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
