    is a central challenge in engineering. Early architectural design decisions strongly
    influence a product’s ecological footprint and long-term sustainability potential.
    Addressing these aspects in the concept phase is therefore essential. This paper
    analyses how architecture decisions - such as modularity, standardisation, redundancy,
    and updateability - affect ecological sustainability. The qualitative assessment
    helps practitioners to anticipate environmental impacts and foster sustainability
    awareness in product architecture development.</jats:p>@eng"
