Abstract
The construction of products using standardized components or exchangeable modules represents a further opportunity that has come into focus in the literature on the circular economy. Standardization and modularization create opportunities to more easily repair products and repairs become less expensive. This is important in order to reimplement practices of repairing, instead of the present extensive practice of replacing items as they are damaged or break down. The practices have been used for a long time, providing advantages to the companies that have applied them. In order to expand the application of standardization and modularization, the practice needs to become a focal alternative for business development in a way similar to the way that Lean Production has been spread across the world.
