Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of sustainable products can be defined as the practice in which environmental issues are integrated into the product development process. The objective of developing sustainable products is to meet the needs of consumers in relation to durable, reusable, and remanufacturable products, since these aspects of the product life cycle are increasingly becoming a worldwide trend.
For this Special Issue titled “Sustainable Product Development Management”, we invite the submission of articles that foster discussion on the design and development of sustainable products and integrated solutions of products and services that will contribute to the social, environmental, and economic sustainability of societies and territories, developing and applying process, models, methods for sustainable product and service innovation, and systems innovation for transition to sustainability.
Articles selected for this Special Issue will be subject to a rigorous peer-review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.
