The prescribed buyback schemes as a part of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) of companies are believed to be an effective practice to eliminate the landfill of packaging materials. The coercive measures include the reuse and recycling of plastic packaging material. The lack of awareness, motivation, concern and enforcement of rules are major concerns of the government in implementing the buyback schemes of plastic wastes in developing economies. In the present study, 11 barriers are identified and defined through an extensive literature review. The total interpretive structural modeling method (TISM) and MICMAC analysis are used for examining the interrelationship between the barriers by utilizing experts’ opinions. A contextual relationship-based structural model is developed by considering the direct relationships and transitivity links. The contextual model helps in identifying the influential barriers. Further, the MICMAC analysis segregates the barriers into four based on their dependence and driving influence. The result of this study indicates that the unclear and unstable policy is the most influential barrier which prevents the adoption of a buyback scheme for used plastic packaging material. The study further reveals that consumer motivation is the least influential and most dependent barrier which could be improved by establishing the infrastructure and minimizing the difficulty in availing the scheme.

作为公司延伸生产者责任 (EPR) 的一部分，规定的回购计划被认为是消除包装材料垃圾填埋场的有效做法。强制措施包括重复使用和回收塑料包装材料。缺乏意识、动机、关注和执行规则是政府在发展中经济体实施塑料废物回购计划时的主要关注点。在本研究中，通过广泛的文献回顾确定并定义了 11 个障碍。总解释结构建模方法（TISM）和MICMAC分析用于利用专家的意见检查障碍之间的相互关系。通过考虑直接关系和传递性链接，开发了基于上下文关系的结构模型。上下文模型有助于识别有影响的障碍。此外，MICMAC 分析根据障碍的依赖性和驱动影响将障碍分为四类。这项研究的结果表明，不明确和不稳定的政策是阻碍采用旧塑料包装材料回购计划的最大障碍。该研究进一步表明，消费者动机是影响最小和依赖程度最高的障碍，可以通过建立基础设施和最大限度地减少使用该计划的难度来改善这一障碍。MICMAC 分析根据障碍的依赖性和驱动影响将障碍分为四类。这项研究的结果表明，不明确和不稳定的政策是阻碍采用旧塑料包装材料回购计划的最大障碍。该研究进一步表明，消费者动机是影响最小和依赖程度最高的障碍，可以通过建立基础设施和最大限度地减少使用该计划的难度来改善这一障碍。MICMAC 分析根据障碍的依赖性和驱动影响将障碍分为四类。这项研究的结果表明，不明确和不稳定的政策是阻碍采用旧塑料包装材料回购计划的最大障碍。该研究进一步表明，消费者动机是影响最小和依赖程度最高的障碍，可以通过建立基础设施和最大限度地减少使用该计划的难度来改善这一障碍。
