The Unsustainable Products
The term life cycle refers to cradle to grave. If we view
any product as a living entity, that product has a birth, a period of life in
society, and then death. Historically, science and technology have focused on
new ideas, concepts, products, and their applications, with the objective of
giving a useful life to products that serve our needs. But in the past we have
given little thought to the demise of these entities. By ignoring the end
cycle, we lose sight of the fact that the natural resources that have gone into
making products are not infinite, and that on a worldwide basis the rate at
which we consume products with a throwaway mentality is unsustainable.
Furthermore, we do long-term and even irreparable damage to our environment by
introducing more and more waste and pollution into the environment. By the same
token, when we rely on inefficient technologies to mass-produce products, we
continually waste more resources and generate more pollution.
