The notion of planned obsolescence transformed consumer goods from durable products to disposable commodities, encouraging frequent upgrades that cater to status and novelty rather than lasting utility.
The shift toward disposability coincided with an emphasis on marketing and design, positioning products as symbols of style, perpetuating a cycle of consumption that neglects enduring value.
In the face of the climate crisis and resource challenges, there is an urgent need for a product development model that champions repairability and adaptability over mere disposability.
Modular design emerges as a sustainable alternative, allowing for personalization and prolonging the life of products by enabling users to customize and upgrade according to their evolving needs.
