Product Service Systems

Service instead of Product – The design of the future
Are smart Product Service Systems (PSS) the design approach of the future?

As sustainable production becomes an international concern, PSS can help reduce environmental impact of both, production and consumption. By offering services instead of products, companies cannot only fulfill this goal, but often create new business opportunities. Think Skype instead of CDs or Netflix instead of DVDs. New business concepts can be created while making our economy more sustainable.
