Component Standardization: A Code of Sustainability

Abstract

To make mass manufacturing industries more sustainable, there is a need to unify regulations and embrace shared principles to ensure that the products we produce are more sustainable. With attention to reducing the impact on the natural environment. In this paper, we argue that a code of sustainability regarding component standardization would help in this regard. It would contribute to extending the life of what we produced by facilitating the reuse of components as well as improving their recycling once they deteriorate. We then apply our proposed principles to the automotive sector to demonstrate their practical benefits.
