Sustainability is a widely used term and a generally desirable goal, but it can have different meanings and effects depending on the context and area of application. In terms of product development, sustainability means that products are designed, manufactured and used in such a way that they are economically, socially and ecologically compatible in the long term. BUSSE has drawn up criteria as guidelines for the development of high-quality and therefore durable products. Taking these aspects into account requires an interdisciplinary approach and the cooperation of all project participants.
