Özet
The resource recovery business model (RRBM) involves producing and utilizing secondary raw materials from
waste streams. Overcoming the barriers small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) face in developing countries
during the transition to the RRBM is a considerable challenge. RRBM has quite different barriers than other
circular economy business models (e.g., product life extension, product-service systems, etc.). The aim of this
study is to present a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology to evaluate possible solution
strategies by analyzing RRBM barriers. First, a comprehensive literature review was conducted on the barriers to
implementing RRBM. Working with the expert decision-making group through semi-structured forms, the micro,
macro, and Meso-level barriers were finalized by considering the emerging economies. The importance levels of
the twenty-five barriers were determined in the second stage using the Improved Fuzzy Stepwise Weight
Assessment Ratio Analysis (IMF-SWARA) method. With the IMF-SWARA method, it was convenient to get
straightforward, expert opinions, and inconsistency was no problem. In the third stage, eight main solution
strategies were analyzed to see to what extent they could overcome the barriers. At this point, the Fuzzy Mea surement Alternatives and Ranking according to Compromise Solution (F-MARCOS) was used to evaluate the
decision-maker’s opinions more accurately, which may not be confident within the scope of the criteria. While
the most critical barriers to be considered are collaboration problems, global secondary material supply chain
problems, and quality problems of the recovered resources, the solutions to be considered are financial support,
design for circularity, and industrial symbiosis. In addition, a comprehensive sensitivity analysis was performed
to test its validity after the proposed model was applied. This study’s key contribution is to highlight the barriers
that may occur in the context of emerging economies during the adoption of the RRBM as well as the solutions
that should be prioritized. Thus, it became evident which actions SMEs, representing the most significant proportion of businesses in emerging economies, should take to execute the resource recovery business model.
