Abstract

One can notice nowadays in almost every field of existence that there is an extra number of products for which companies are looking intensively, through different marketing methods, to find customers. It becomes obvious, therefore, for the companies that manufacturing a product is much easier than marketing it nowadays. After taking into consideration, the costs for all stages of development, production and marketing, it is rather hard to find a market for the products where the companies are also able to gain profit. The proposed paper presents a possible future approach. On the one hand, it will refer to a planned development of things/products required by law through a maximum use time. On the other hand, it will refer to the design of the products’ structural components, which will enable the launch of a new industry, where the used products could be reintroduced in the manufacturing cycle after the use period indicated by the manufacturer is overdue. This paper will also present acting solutions at a macro-level, aspects regarding the interactions between transnational companies and the estimated implications related to natural resources all of them being intelligent systems with enormous contributions to the stabilization of the natural ecosystem stabilization and to natural environment as a whole.
