Abstract
Sustainability in product engineering is becoming increasingly relevant. Expanding stakeholder requirements for sustainable product engineering demand a more detailed and consistent understanding of the field to foster purposeful solutions. In this paper, a total of 174 publications in the field of product engineering were evaluated for their underlying understanding of sustainability based on a hermeneutic analysis. The results are threefold and include guiding questions for the analysis of publications in the field, a description of the current state of sustainability understanding in product engineering, and an explication framework for a proactive and targeted description of a sustainability understanding for use in future research and practice. These results are intended to contribute to establishing a more consistent and explicit understanding of sustainability in product engineering.
