Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the issues and trade-offs surrounding extended product life in today's society. It begins by discussing the benefits of longer-lasting products, including direct savings to consumers and reduced environmental impact. The author also considers potential drawbacks, such as increased production costs, slowed economic growth, and the potential for inhibiting product innovation. The book then examines the factors that influence product life, including consumer usage behavior, technological limitations, and market forces. The author also discusses the various policy strategies that can be used to promote longer product life, including consumer education, product standards, and tax incentives. The book concludes by arguing that extended product life is a desirable goal, but that it must be pursued in a way that minimizes negative consequences. By providing a comprehensive overview of the complex issues surrounding product life, this book helps readers understand the challenges and opportunities associated with making products that last longer.
