Abstract

Researchers and practitioners have been paying close attention to the circular economy (CE) since it addresses both social and environmental benefits. It also allows for the optimization of the manufacturing process by developing sustainable products that retain as much of their value as feasible. The researcher focuses on the constraints that obstruct the application of circular economy practises in the Malaysian automobile industry in this research paper. Apart from China, little attention has been paid in the literature to the hurdles to CE adoption in Malaysia.Moreover, the pandemic COVID-19 that disrupted the supply chain in automotive industries are the foundation of issue that led to this study. Governmental, economic, and social barriers are identified as the barriers that impede the implementation of CE for automotive industry in Malaysia. This study employs a quantitative method. Primary data will be collected by a survey that will be distributed to all Malaysian that using motor vehicles. In addition, 384 respondents will be chosen using probability sampling. To verify data consistency, a pilot test and reliability analysis will be conducted. Statistical Package for Social Sciences will also be used to analyse the results gathered from respondents (SPSS). To evaluate the researcher's hypothesis, descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis are utilised. From the result, governmental, economic and social barriers have significant relationship in influencing barriers to the implementation of CE practices and governmental barrier is the most significant barrier influencing barriers to the implementation of CE practices Researchers might use the proposed new conceptual framework to conduct future research or add other variables to the study.
