Product Development of Natural Fibre-Composites for Various Applications: Design for Sustainability

Muhammad Rizal Muhammad Asyraf et al.

Summary: This review article aims to consolidate the principles and current literature on design for sustainability and discuss its future direction. It suggests that design for sustainability methods should be established based on the concept of sustainability in ecological, economic, and social dimensions. Integrating sustainability into engineering designs is crucial for producing greener products and system innovation. However, the current literature lacks the connection between the design for sustainability concept and concurrent engineering during the design development stage, which should be further developed. The paper also presents several future research directions.
