Title An exploratory expansion of the concept of product-service systems beyond products and services
Year 2018
Published
Abstract Product-Service Systems (PSS) are seen as an important part in moving towards increased environmental sustainability within the holistic concept of a circular economy. While PSS are increasingly prevalent in industry and a multitude of methods and tools have been developed to aid their implementation and use, this paper argues that the concept may be meaningfully extended beyond the design and provision of products and services alone to include large technical systems. Through a literature review and the analysis of four case studies, commonalities and differences between PSS and large technical systems are identified. While this only constitutes a first step into the expansion of the scope of PSS and additional, more applied research is required, the PSS concept is discussed as a key facilitator of improved environmental performance of industrial activities and consumption if applied on a system-level.
