About
Dr. Faruk Mia is a leading researcher at the intersection of sustainable manufacturing, circular economy (CE), and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies, with a specific focus on the textile and apparel (T&A) sector in Bangladesh. His most cited work, "Impact of textile circular economy practices on sustainable development goals through mediation of I4.0 technologies and moderation of competitive intensity" (2025, 4 citations), provides a groundbreaking empirical framework demonstrating how CE practices drive progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Dr. Mia’s key contribution lies in revealing that I4.0 technologies—such as automation, IoT, and data analytics—serve as a critical mediator, translating circular strategies into measurable sustainability outcomes. He further shows that competitive intensity acts as a powerful moderator, accelerating this positive impact. This nuanced model offers actionable insights for policymakers and industry leaders navigating the dual pressures of environmental responsibility and market competition. By bridging theoretical sustainability concepts with practical, technology-driven solutions for a major global industry, Dr. Mia’s work is shaping the future of responsible textile production and establishing a benchmark for circular economy research in developing economies.
