These last decades have seen the emergence of questions about the obsolescence of products, which leads to problems with the supply of raw materials and increased waste. Indeed, many socio-economic studies show that natural resources are running out and that our consumption patterns produce large quantities of waste that deteriorate our environment and induce climate change. From a societal point of view, behavioral changes in consumption and usage patterns should be drastic to have rapid and positive effects on the environment and therefore cannot be the only lever for action. To respond to this, governments at national and European level are putting in place laws to encourage companies to set up processes for upgrading their products that have already been sold. A long-term course of action, faced with this challenge of upgrading, is the implementation of the circular economy, which focuses on our way of producing, using and better upgrading products at the end of their life. use phase, in order to consume less energy and fewer raw materials.
This article proposes (i) to formalize the process of industrial regeneration by applying the principle of biomimicry (ii) to define the internal activities of regeneration and to apply it to the different levels of the architecture of the product, and (iii) to to integrate regeneration into the different types of obsolescence in order to provide some answers.
