The traditional linear model triggered many negative environmental consequences such as climate change, ocean pollution, loss of biodiversity and land degradation. The development of RL strategies that support the transition between RL to CE is crucial. The purpose of this paper is to connect RL with CE in the context of Industry 4.0 and develop a hierarchal structure to explore the relationship between RL and CE critical success factors in the context of Industry 4.0.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study used both qualitative and quantitative approach. Literature review in collaboration with the Delphi method is used to identify and validate critical success factors. Then, the ISM-based model and MICMAC method were used to determine the relationship between CE and RL success factors and its driving and dependence power.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study result shows that waste reduction, skilled employees and expert's involvement and top management commitment and support will provide guidelines and paths for implementing CE and RL, leading to the competitiveness of a firm.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings provide managerial insight, particularly useful to third-party logistics companies' managers who are looking to implement RL and CE, to help prioritize where to invest company resources to generate prime difference. Furthermore, this study also identified Industry 4.0 technologies, which would tackle top identified critical success factors within the hierarchical model such as block chain and digital platforms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper contributes to the literature by exploring the connection between RL and CE in the context of Industry 4.0 that determines the critical success factors enabling sustainable inter-firm collaboration.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/k-03-2022-0468","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,12]],"date-time":"2022-09-12T02:38:08Z","timestamp":1662950288000},"page":"6279-6320","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Connecting reverse logistics with circular economy in the context of Industry 4.0"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"52","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5822-0933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sharfuddin Ahmed","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3219-0497","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wafaa","family":"Laalaoui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8899-573X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatma","family":"Hokal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mariam","family":"Tareq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7662-2055","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laila","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"key2023112503161419800_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"460","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpe.2012.08.003","article-title":"Critical barriers in implementing reverse logistics in the Chinese manufacturing sectors","volume":"147","year":"2014","journal-title":"The International Journal of Production Economics"},{"key":"key2023112503161419800_ref002","first-page":"228","article-title":"Patterns of industrial innovation","volume":"64","year":"1978","journal-title":"Technology Review"},{"key":"key2023112503161419800_ref003","article-title":"An investigation into the drivers, barriers and policy implications of circular economy using a mixed-mode research approach","year":"2018"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2023112503161419800_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"971","DOI":"10.1108\/MD-11-2018-1178","article-title":"Drivers and barriers to circular economy implementation: an explorative study in Pakistan's automobile industry","volume":"57","year":"2019","journal-title":"Management Decision"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2023112503161419800_ref151","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"233","DOI":"10.3390\/app9020233","article-title":"Interpretive structural modeling and MICMAC analysis for identifying and benchmarking significant factors of seismic soil liquefaction","volume":"9","year":"2019","journal-title":"Applied Sciences"},{"key":"key2023112503161419800_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1640","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sbspro.2012.09.1130","article-title":"Drivers of reverse logistics activities: an empirical investigation","volume":"58","year":"2012","journal-title":"The Procedia-Social and Behavioral Sciences"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2023112503161419800_ref006","first-page":"567","article-title":"Technological aspect factors of E-learning readiness in higher education institutions: Delphi technique","volume":"24","year":"2018","journal-title":"Education and Information Technologies"},{"key":"key2023112503161419800_ref007","article-title":"Modelling reverse supply chain through system dynamics for realizing the transition towards the circular economy: a case study on electric vehicle batteries","volume":"254","year":"2020","journal-title":"The Journal of Cleaner Production"},{"key":"key2023112503161419800_ref008","unstructured":"Amazon Web Services, Inc.
