Abstract

Innovations from the fields of digitization, material science, and manufacturing technologies like 3D printing trigger the transformation of production systems that become increasingly decentralized and personalized. This chapter captures these trends and relates them to their potential impacts on sustainability. It becomes obvious that technological developments alone can hardly spur future paths of a greener economy. However, bottom-up approaches of governing, structuring, and organizing the embedding of novel technologies within broader application patterns may lead to this direction. Moreover, the combination and re-combination of complementary social and technological innovations offer degrees of freedom within systems of production that can boost innovative solutions for society’s urgent sustainability issues as well.
