Özet
This study aims to examine the effects of the use of blockchain technology in production on the motivation to switch to a circular economy (CE). Additionally, the study aims to assess the significance of blockchain technology's impacts on businesses, with a focus on CE initiatives. In this context, thirty-five managers from seven companies in Turkey's automotive subindustry were interviewed, and the criteria were evaluated by seven expert groups. Considering the presence of different groups and high uncertainty, the Q-Rung Orthopair fuzzy set was used. The study findings reveal that the primary factors driving circular economy motivation are "waste management, " "information sharing and enhanced cooperation among supply chain stakeholders, " and "operating costs, " in that order. The article explores blockchain as a promising technology to facilitate the circular economy process. This study is expected to enrich the circular economy literature and be a road map for automotive supplier industry manufacturers in developing countries.
