BSIDurability is becoming a critical part of many sustainability and circularity conversations and producing durable products is an effective way to lower the environmental impact of the industry. However, until now there is little in the way of a formal definition or tools to measure with both the emotional and physical aspects of durability being important. This session will provide a deep dive on the topic and will discuss why it matters, and present some results obtained so far in a project intended to assess the residual functionality of waterproof jackets.
