Product Service Systems

Product Service Systems (PSS) is the sustainable business model of selling services rather than selling objects. grow-design reexamines PSS for their ability to unite the business goal of expanding market share and the environmental goal of effectively using of natural resources. Current business models too often create cumbersome obsolete products destined for the landfill. grow-design uses PSS to reduce the product mass churned through the existing linear industrial streams and instead reuse objects and materials through a cyclical system.


grow-design designs for PSSs by applying the following four principles-
Modularity -upgradeability, repairability, interchangeability
Industrial Ecology - transforming industrial waste to industrial resource
Stakeholder Connections - solving problems as information conduit
Design for Disassembly - separating biocyclical and recyclable components
