Abstract The circular supply chain has many advantages, however, its implementation is associated with obstacles in many countries, including developing countries. This study aimed to provide a model for the circular supply chain acceptance, using the qualitative approach of stakeholder analysis and the quantitative approach of interpretive structural modelling. A mixed exploratory approach has been used in this research. Qualitatively, the community included the key stakeholders of the supply chain of the steel industry and the sample consisted of 10 specific representatives who were selected purposefully. Barriers were extracted through semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and analysed by thematic analysis method. In the quantitative part, the statistical population included supply chain experts and the sample included 10 experts who are proficient in the subject and modelling management concepts, who were selected as the target sample. The research tool in the quantitative part was the interpretive structural equation questionnaire. 17 barriers to the circular supply chain acceptance from the perspective of the key stakeholders were extracted. Using MICMAC analysis, the type of variables was determined. The variables were divided into independent and linked groups and were plotted at three levels in an interactive network. This study has presented a model for circular supply chain acceptance. Determining the type of variables and the relationships between them and presenting a model can lead to a better understanding of the issue and making appropriate decisions about the circular supply chain acceptance.
