THE EVOLUTION OF MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS AND PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE

Historically, manufactured products were known for their durability. However, the concept of planned obsolescence was introduced to stimulate economic growth, leading to a decline in the performance and quality of finished products. This resulted in items with limited lifespans that quickly became outdated. Planned obsolescence was born during a time when economic growth was the primary focus. Despite later efforts to ban this practice, it continued to thrive due to its profitability. Consequently, products were designed to have shorter lifespans or become obsolete, encouraging consumers to make new purchases and upgrades. This practice has persisted, driven by design changes, technological advancements, and shifting consumer preferences and demands.

In the future, raw resources will become scarce, and the enforcement of climate change policies will become more stringent. If not addressed, this could cause significant disruptions to the supply of goods and services. During this period of change, manufacturers and consumers must adapt and commit to sustainable practices. These practices include promoting responsible consumption and production, preserving resources, engaging in regenerative processes, and enhancing production resilience. A systematic approach to technological and product diversification is necessary. Early researchers and manufacturers relied on case studies to gain insights into R&D and technology outsourcing, limited by the availability of suitable indicators, conceptual indices, and performance data. Today, advances in technology resources and the ability to pursue multiple technological fields are central to competitive success in sustainable development.
