Achieving a sustainable consumption and production pattern is one of the United Nation's sustainable development goals for 2030. To achieve this, it is necessary to consider the environmental burden from a product life cycle and the quality of life of the consumer. In this study, a systematic approach for connecting basic human needs and the product development process, called the living-sphere approach, is proposed. This approach is intended to encompass the complete relationship between region-specific basic needs and durable products. In this approach, value graphs, which visualize the value system of products, are connected to satisfiers fulfilling the basic needs set out by Max-Neef. A value graph links satisfiers and the traditional product development process. The significance of the proposed approach is twofold. First, improving quality of daily life and traditional product development are combined in the same framework. Second, the design of single products and the total optimization of multi-products are supported at the requirement level.

The Publisher apologizes for this error.The fifth paragraph under "Conclusions and suggestions" section was not properly formatted. The correct paragraph is now given below.The results of the implementation of this model have showed that the product recycling among four GSCM practices is in the first priority. Moreover, the product disassembly manual has the greatest importance among all 22 GSCM practices indictors. To avoid the misinterpretation dimension of the product recycling as its' criterion, the product disassembly manual, the product recycling initiatives is related to the disposal stage, while the product disassembly manual refers to the consumers education about the recycling and recovery options available to them, and explaining that they must not dispose the products together with their general trash. To facilitate an end-of-life disassembly, the product disassembly manuals need to be carried out as a reference for disassembly workers to implement the non-destructive detachment of components or modules and acquire the recovery of original functionality in order to contribute to the environmental benefit [6, 46]. In order for Saipa Company and similarly for Iranian automobile companies, to improve GSCM practices by considering the product disassembly manual as the most influential indicator from experts' point of view, it is recommended to set Journal of Remanufacturing (2018) 8:175-176 https://doi
