Abstract

Bangladesh has a rich history and is the second-largest exporter of textile manufacturing. Every day, many textile products are produced by companies with a very high product capacity. They often unconsciously damage the environment in their hope of extra production and profit. As a result, a good, eco-friendly system should be designed to reduce harmful manufacturing and efficient production. It is crucial to integrate sustainable practices for GSCM in the textile industry. Additionally, it highlights specific challenges in Bangladesh's textile industry and emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach that balances economic, environmental, and social sustainability. The studies were carried out by collecting and analyzing data from different sources, such as reviewing papers and expert opinions. This research paper, Review of Literature, emphasizes that we found 10 barriers to stockholder opinion from 29 barriers through setting questionnaires, where expert people give points for those barriers, and the data is ranked by the ISM method. The ISM method is incorporated here to rank the obstacles created in the textile industry by collecting data through research papers, setting questions, and obtaining expert opinions for shorting. Sustainability analysis is done through MICMAC analysis. Barriers during production were trying to be found, and the most hazardous problem for textile production was ranked at the top.
