This research looks at potential barriers to organic waste management solutions. The objective of this study is to identify the barriers to organic waste management solutions from an actor's perspective and to explore their causal relationships to overcome the organic waste management problem from a system perspective. Several key challenges were identified regarding organic waste management solution the current intervention overview indicates that promoting and tracking attention towards “value to waste” would be an effective solution approach. Waste collection fees unethical behavior and a lack of engagement and commitment in activities show a subsequent effect on consumer-household solutions which are currently acting as priority barriers in this research. In order to have a better understanding of this complex issue a detailed knowledge of barriers (leading to organic waste) is discovered and evaluated with the application of fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL). The data for this research has been taken in the context of a developing economy like India. This work can provide structural support to the managers by knowing the cause (influencing) and effect-group (influencing) barriers to the effective implementation of an organic waste management system in a circular economy context. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
