Purpose This study aims to investigate the connection between the circular economy and sustainable operations management to identify the challenges and opportunities in platform organizations. The study looks at how the stated circular economy strategies (Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Repurpose and Recycle) are integrated across different industries, emphasizing how they align with the e-business model. The research evaluates their contribution to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 12, which focuses on responsible consumption and production. Design/methodology/approach A literature review has analyzed CE frameworks, business models and the role of sustainable operations management practices. This study utilized secondary data analysis of platform organizations and insights from case studies to identify patterns, strategies and outcomes. The study also involved practical examinations within organizations, specifically focusing on innovative start-ups. Findings The analysis uses the 6R framework (Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Repurpose and Recycle) to uncover valuable insights into organizational practices and highlight the role of platform organizations in promoting and achieving circular economy objectives. The research findings focus on the central importance of data regulation and governance while showcasing sustainable business practices through platform organizations. Originality/value This research is significant as it connects circular economy with platform organizations’ business models, emphasizing data regulation, resource efficiency, waste reduction and aligning business practices with Sustainable Development Goal 12.

This study explores the surging of demand for manufactured products with the increasing of world’s population. While the manufacturing sector is essential in meeting this demand, it also faces the significant challenge of reducing the environmental impact of industrial waste. Manufacturing industrial waste primarily arises from by-products, over-extraction of natural resources, and inefficient production processes. Poor management of manufacturing processes would lead to adverse social impacts to human health, natural resources depletion, ecosystem destruction, and contribute to global warming and climate change. Additionally, improper waste disposal can result in financial losses and legal penalties for non-compliance with environmental regulations. Hence, it is imperative for the manufacturing sector to leverage emerging technologies and management strategies to mitigate these challenges. Therefore, this study used a quantitative approach to analyse primary data collected from the survey questionnaire to examine the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Combination of financial, technical, social, and governmental factors addressed in this project underscores the multifaceted approach required for effective waste management
