Abstract [en]

This paper introduces an evaluated initial model for how product lifecycles can be extended considering new and emerging existential design aspects concerning both general as well as digital/connected products. The initial model, which is cyclic, includes reverse logistics of components and raw materials, as well as information on how to manage data at the end of lifecycles. The aim is to improve long-term sustainability with a high degree of circularity while also achieving increased profitability and competitiveness. Further, we highlighted that product providers must start to evaluate and prepare for how to improve product durability, manage long and extendable lifespans, and achieve circularity with reverse logistics to close the loops. Additionally, updatability and upgradability are also required to stay current with time and create value while being cybersecure. Otherwise, customers’ expectations, various legal and regulatory aspects, as well as other existential design aspects can halt or even terminate a product’s lifecycle.
