This study adopts a qualitative, applied research design conducted in two stages. First, directed content analysis of the literature was combined with semi-structured interviews with 8 purposively selected waste management and entrepreneurship experts (using snowball sampling) to identify initial components. Second, these components were validated and screened through a two-round Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) with the same expert panel. The study identified and validated 15 main components. Among these, &ldquo;environmental,&rdquo; &ldquo;organizational and resource,&rdquo; and &ldquo;entrepreneurial individual&rdquo; components achieved the highest level of expert consensus. Conversely, &ldquo;logistical and operational&rdquo; and &ldquo;ecological and sustainability&rdquo; components received the lowest relative consensus from the experts. The findings suggest that bricolage-based waste management is a multidimensional process depending on the interaction of environmental constraints, resource availability, institutional support, and the entrepreneur&rsquo;s resourcefulness. The proposed conceptual framework provides valuable insights for policymakers and entrepreneurs to exploit opportunities and create value from industrial waste under resource constraints.</span><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span></b></span></span></span></span> Opportunity Recognition, Entrepreneurial Bricolage, Industrial Waste Management, Bricolage Opportunity Recognition Model, Fuzzy Delphi Technique. 35 50 http://ijorlu.lahijan.iau.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-614-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 H.
