Abstract
AbstractTo meet sustainability goals, manufacturing companies are faced with the challenge of using renewable resources as well as innovative processes to design and manufacture sustainable products. For this purpose, the Design for Sustainability (DfS) approach has been suggested. Since there is no uniform understanding of how such a concept should work and which methods should be applied within it, the paper is intended to provide an overview of existing approaches. Therefore, a taxonomy of DfS approaches is introduced to enable a systematic and differentiated analysis. Afterwards, a literature review is conducted and a comprehensive overview of DfS concepts is provided. This allows for uncovering research needs towards an established DfS approach.
