| description | This study aims to conduct a preliminary literature analysis regarding the contributions of modularity to ecodesign principles. The research considered that modularity is a growing product development strategy in organizations, bringing a variety of contributions and benefits. A theoretical-conceptual approach was used as research method, which started with a structured search for related subject (modularity and ecodesign) articles, followed by a non-structured search, both considering the related keywords. We found a limited number of publications regarding the two topics. However we could see that product modularity brings potential environmental benefits in product development and use, mainly through multifunctional products and modules reuse, disassembly and easy disposal after using. We conclude, hence, that product modularity can provide relevant contributions and benefits to ecodesign principles and practices, being needed empirical studies for future literature comparison. |
