Current Situation
Sustainability of product design, materials, logistics and product life-cycle processes are rarely a standard in retail today.
Goals and Objectives
Reduce waste by designing for sustainability in the product design phase. Account for the sustainability of materials, manufacturing processes, shipping, and product life cycle.
Technology Deployed
Carbon and water sustainability tracking and analysis software, PLM, 3D visualization, full product life-cycle transparency/traceability, and remanufacturing capability
Use Case Summary
Higher product profitability is achieved by managing product design for full life-cycle sustainability, from design to end of life (which may be after a remanufacturing process).
