Abstract

This paper addresses the issue whether the concepts mass customization
and sustainability are fundamentally compatible by asking the question:
can a mass customized product be sustainable? Some factors indicate that mass
customized products are less sustainable than standardized products; however
other factors suggest the opposite. This paper explores these factors during
three life cycle phases for a product: Production, Use and End of Life. It is concluded
that there is not an unambiguous causal relationship between mass
customization and sustainability; however several factors unique to mass
customized products are essential to consider during product development.
