bionics, sustainability, product developmentAbstract
The role of bionics in the development of sustainable products is established from the intrinsic relationship between two areas of human knowledge, biology, and technology. As a discipline of design, it contemplates the experiences generated by the phenomena in nature, and of the technologicalcal processes that emerged from human thought, like a synergistic sum that allows understanding the evolution and transformation of the environment, for find the essence of the problems raised and in this way the possible solutions will be generated. The environment becomes a challenge, the commitment to the conservation and recovery of natural capital still persists in our midst. The vision of product development has changed substantially, in these times sustainable factors are not a fad, but a necessity, which has come to transform the vision into product development. This process takes responsibility beyond just considering its production and reaching the user. Actually, the responsibility comprises the factors of production, from the extraction of the raw material to the elimination at the end of its life cycle. In this sense, the experience of bionics takes us more than the imitation of organic forms, the efficiency with which the natural models work, evolve, and adapt to apply it in the products generated to satisfy human needs, from a balanced and rational way of using the resources.Metrics
