Eco-Efficiency Assessment of Circular Economy Strategies in Indonesian Textile Manufacturing Process

Abstract


This study investigates the effectiveness of circular economy strategies in textile manufacturing and seeks to formulate a process-level eco-efficiency evaluation framework incorporating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The research analyzes a medium-scale textile facility in West Java, Indonesia, using a gate-to-gate framework in order to assess three intervention scenarios of renewable energy adoption, recycled materials, and a hybrid of both. The data reveal that the integrated scenario provides a significant uplift of Environmental Performance (EP), Value Performance (VP), and Extended Eco-Efficiency (EEP) up to 260% of its baseline figures. The results indicate that dual interventions provide complementary effects due to carbon emissions cut and reduced life cycle costs while remaining operationally effective. Methodologically, the study operationalizes a multi-dimensional eco-efficiency indicator at a micro-process level to yield quantitative support of sustainability strategies in manufacturing. Moreover, the methodology provides a solution to the practical implications by offering an integrated model for assessing cost-effective circular practices, particularly in developing country contexts.
