At the same time, companies are feeling the pressure to minimize their own costs and maximize the value of the product for the customer. This creates the major challenge in product development of optimizing these interrelated but often conflicting objectives in order to achieve the best result from the company&#8217;s point of view. Our Design-to-Profitable Sustainability approach aims precisely to address these complex relationships between sustainability, costs and product value.   <\/p><p>Our approach extends the proven design-to-cost method. We optimize not only material, production costs and total cost of ownership, but also sustainability factors such as CO<g id=\"gid_0\">2<\/g> emissions. We also take into account soft factors such as the company&#8217;s image in the area of sustainability or the respective customer benefits of sustainability.  <\/p><p>In order to evaluate all optimization ideas, the target values to be considered are reduced to a common denominator. We use the monetary impact for this. All optimization ideas are then structured in a morphological box and the possible solutions that meet the constraints are identified. The total costs of these solutions are then evaluated. In this way, the competing effects are objectively evaluated with regard to an overall optimum. As a result, optimal design decisions can be made.     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c8423a ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1c8423a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_photomorph_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/targusmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DtPS_Grafik_v01_EN-1-1024x550.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-89278\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/targusmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DtPS_Grafik_v01_EN-1-1024x550.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/targusmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DtPS_Grafik_v01_EN-1-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/targusmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DtPS_Grafik_v01_EN-1-768x412.jpg 768w, https:\/\/targusmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DtPS_Grafik_v01_EN-1.jpg 1162w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c85de3 ob-harakiri-inherit ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c85de3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_use_harakiri&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_writing_mode&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;_ob_postman_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 mpc-column\" data-column-id=\"mpc_column-976329b8574c75b\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_bottom-to-top bottom-to-top vc_custom_1580807766383 wpb_start_animation animated\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 mpc-column\" data-column-id=\"mpc_column-28632ca55829316\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_bottom-to-top bottom-to-top vc_custom_1518619714862 wpb_start_animation animated\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1535111600617 mpc-row\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 mpc-column\" data-column-id=\"mpc_column-5063518ed6a7bc6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Project results<\/h3><ul><li>Transparency concerning product costs, including the costs of sustainability aspects<\/li><li>Tailored evaluation model for assessing optimization ideas<\/li><li>Achievement of the overall optimum through fact-based design decisions<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-80148b1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"80148b1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[],&quot;_ob_glider_is_slider&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c5f6b5f\" data-id=\"c5f6b5f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_column_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_column_has_pseudo&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The social and economic demands on the sustainability of products are constantly increasing.
