A Metrics-Based Approach to Support Sustainable Product Development and Consumption

Sustainable product development adheres to the needs of the present while developing a product without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This proposal aims to develop a suite of sustainability metrics that can be computed by analyzing data like company website, product material information, etc. The metrics will be integrated into the existing Arbor sustainability product suite via dedicated mobile app and browser extension. The metrics can positively impact the companies and consumers by helping them make informed decisions on how to develop and consume products with sustainability as a key focus, which can then help fight the climate change (e.g., reducing emissions) and supporting everyone (including humans) affected by the changes.
