👉 Consumption engineering is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on optimizing the consumption of resources to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and economic benefits. It involves the systematic analysis and redesign of consumption patterns, production processes, and supply chains to minimize waste, reduce environmental impact, and maximize resource utilization. By applying principles from economics, engineering, and social sciences, consumption engineers develop innovative solutions such as product redesign, service-based business models, and sustainable consumption practices. These strategies aim to shift from a linear "take-make-dispose" model to a circular economy where resources are reused, recycled, or repurposed, ultimately leading to more resilient and sustainable consumption systems.
