WHY
The demand for sustainable products is high and rising due to increased household consumption creating environmental pressure. One way to improve the product sustainability is to increase the use of the product by intensifying the use and prolonging the life cycle or a combination of the two. This gives each product produced a higher value, benefit and profit. Increasing the use creates a lower need for large quantities of produced products which reduces the environmental footprint. One way to increase the use is to allow the product to be reused over and over again for as long as possible.
