Methodology for the Development of Sustainable Products

The book "Methodology for the Development of Sustainable Products” offers readers various ways in which proven methods of product development can be usefully supplemented from a sustainability perspective. It combines familiar and successfully established methods with new approaches that we have researched and tested in practice in recent years, with a focus on sustainable solutions. Starting with primarily strategic considerations on systems and business models as well as relevant norms and standards, concrete methods and techniques are presented in the further course of the book, which are supplemented by case studies in the individual chapters. The content of this book is based on many years of practical experience from life, 15 years of working in industry, as well as research and teaching, and also in terms of working with young people. In addition to our students, it is primarily aimed at practitioners – from engineers to managers – as well as all readers with an interest in technology.
