About the product

The concept of Product Service Systems (PSS) promotes a focus shift from selling just products to selling the utilities through a mix of products and services. This business approach has recently received increasing attention as a new way to both achieve economic gains while at the same time reducing environmental impacts. This booklet uses real company examples to explain PSS, its potential benefits and limitations in the context of environmental sustainability. It draws on the knowledge and experience of PSS experts and is a useful reference tool for industry, governments, academia and civil society.
