摘要：Triple Bottom Line (3 BL) Sustainability has been expressed as a tool in the hands of policy makers toachieve competitive advantage. Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) conceptualizes the design, control,and operation of the supply chain systems to recover the value from the product even after their useful lifethrough the processes of reuse and recycle. Efficient management of CLSC operations in metal recyclingindustry will enhance 3BL sustainability. The present study investigates and shortlists criticalsustainability factors in metal recycling CLSC operations. The study applies Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) to identify the most important factors and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) techniques tocheck the reliability and validity of these factors through statistical analysis. The study identifies five mostimportant factors to achieve sustainability in metal recycling CLSC. Although the article is focused on theIndian metal recycling industry but factors can be relevant for researchers in other developing countries,where similar economic, social and environmental conditions exist.
