Sub-domains of sustainability are cultural, technological, and political (James et al. 2014; Magee et al. 2013). The current strategies for achieving sustainability can generally be divided into three categories: population, affluence, and technology (Holdren, J. P., & Ehrlich 1974). The most promising path to sustainability is to develop new technologies that address the relationships among the environment, society, and economy, including the design, making, transporting, use, and disposal of the product. al. and titled Adaptation of to Sustainable analysis named
