Abstract

This research investigates integrating Circular Economy principles with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7, 9, and 12 to enhance sustainability, innovation, and resilience in the manufacturing industry. Conducted by the Open University of Malaysia (OUM), the study assesses Industry 4.0, Circular Economy, and SDGs awareness among Open Distance Learning (ODL) students. It identifies gaps in current education and proposes interventions. The traditional linear economic model leads to resource depletion and environmental issues, hindering sustainability. Circular Economy principles, focusing on resource efficiency and waste reduction, offer a promising alternative but are not widely implemented. Using a quantitative methodology with structured questionnaires, this study evaluates the current understanding of Circular Economy principles and their alignment with SDGs 7, 9, and 12. Key findings reveal varying familiarity levels, highlighting the need for better education. Strategies such as recycling, designing for longevity, resource sharing, remanufacturing, and waste reduction show pathways to sustainable manufacturing. The proposed framework emphasizes technological innovation, sustainable design, resource management, waste management, education, and continuous monitoring to foster a regenerative manufacturing industry, aligning practices with global sustainability goals.
