The product life cycle refers to the stages that a product goes through from raw material extraction, manufacturing, distribution, consumption, and ultimately disposal. Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The product life cycle is related to sustainable development as analyzing and optimizing each stage of the product life cycle can help minimize environmental impact, reduce resource use, and promote sustainable practices. By considering sustainability throughout the product life cycle, companies can work towards creating products that have a lower environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
