Sustainable Innovation

Sustainable Innovation in design strategy means planning products and services so they can be used for a long time, reused, or recycled easily. Designers can use modular parts, which means parts that fit together in different ways, so if one part breaks, it can be replaced without throwing away the whole product. This kind of planning helps reduce waste and saves resources. Using local materials and simple assembly methods can make it easier for people to repair or update products. These choices help products last longer and make them friendlier to the environment.
