Starting from Design For Manufacture, Design For Sustainability developed into Design For Longevity. The goal of Design For Longevity is design to extend product lifetime.Design For Longevity is a concept where products with a short lifespan are strived for a longer life. As a new concept that develops in a fast-paced era and products shift with short trends, the DfL application is indispensable.This study used a bibliometric study approach using NVIVO analysis and combined with a descriptive qualitative study the relationship between Design For Longevity and Design For X.
