2.1 European-Italian perspective on PSS design for sustainability
1. carlo vezzoli Politecnico di Milano Learning Network on Sustainability course Product-Service System Design for Sustainability subject 2 System Design for Sustainability learning resource 2.1 SYSTEM DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY: THE EUROPEAN / ITALIAN APPROACH
2. 1. Sustainable development and system innovation 2. The evolution of sustainability in design (Europe) 3. Eco-Efficient Product-Service System (PSS) 4. System design for eco-efficiency 5. System design for social equity and cohesion CONTENTS
4. THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: A SOCIAL AND PRODUCTIVE DEVELOPMENT that takes place within the limits set by the “nature” and meets the needs of the present without compromising those of the future generation within a world-wide equitable distribution of resources 1987, UN “our common future”; 1992 UN conf. Rio; 2002 UN conf. Johannesburg; 2006 UE Sustainable Development Strategy; etc…
5. ENVIRONMENTAL - not to exceed the biosphere and geosphere “resilience ” SOCIO-ETHICAL - same resources ( satisfaction ) level for future generations - equity in the distribution of resources ( satisfaction ) ECONOMIC - economically practicable solutions THE SUSTAINABILITY DIMENSIONS
6. EU DEFINITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION “ safeguard the earth's capacity to support life in all its diversity, respect the limits of the planet's natural resources and ensure a high level of protection and improvement of the quality of the environment. Prevent and reduce environmental pollution and promote sustainable consumption and production to break the link between economic growth and environmental degradation.” [EU, SDS, 2006]
7. SOCIAL EQUITY AND COHESION “ promotion of a democratic, socially inclusive, cohesive, healthy, safe and just society with respect for fundamental rights and cultural diversity that creates equal opportunities and combats discrimination in all its forms” [EU, SDS, 2006] EU DEFINITION OF SOCIO-ETHICAL SUSTAINABILITY
8. ECONOMIC PROSPERITY “ Promote a prosperous, innovative, knowledge-rich, competitive and eco-efficient economy which provides high living standards and full and high-quality employment throughout the European Union.” [EU, SDS, 2006] EU DEFINITION OF ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
9. IN 50 YEARS A WORLD-WIDE EQUITABLE SYSTEMS OF PRODUCTION AND CONSU M PTION SHOULD USE ~ 90% LESS RESOURCES THAN THE HIGHLY INDUSTRIALISED CONTEXTS ARE DOING TODAY SUSTAINABILITY: DIMENSION OF CHANGE
10. SUSTAINABILITY: QUALITY OF CHANGE PROMOTE (EVEN) SYSTEM INNOVATIONS RADICAL CHANGE (“DISCONTINUITY”) DIFFUSED INNOVATION PROMOTE PLAUSIBLE AND “ATTRACTIVE” (SYSTEM) INNOVATIONS

15. PRODUCT-SERVICE SYSTEM: DEFINITION pdf available at: http://www.uneptie.org/pc/sustain/design/pss.htm “ the result of an innovation strategy, shifting the business focus from designing and selling physical products only, to designing selling a system of products and services which are jointly capable of fulfilling specific client demands (satisfactions).” “ system innovation can lead, throughout innovative stakeholders’ interactions, to system eco-efficiency.” [UNEP, 2002]

18. E-E PSS INNOVATION (TYPE I) ADDING VALUE TO THE PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE a c ompany ( alliance of companies ) provides additional services - maintenance, repair, up-grading , substitution and product take back - to guarantee life cycle performance of the product ( sold to the client)
19.
20. E-E PSS INNOVATION (TYPE II) P ROVIDING FINAL RESULTS TO CUSTOMERS a c ompany ( alliance of companies ) provides a customised mix of services, instead of products, in order to provide a specific final result to the customer the client does not own the product and/or does not buy the resources for its functioning and does not operate on it to obtain the final satisfaction, i.e. the client pays the company to provide the agreed final results
21.
22. E-E PSS INNOVATION (TYPE III) ENABLING PLATFORMS FOR CUSTOMERS company ( alliance of companies ) provides access to products, tools, opportunities enabling clients to get their “satisfaction” the client does not own the product and/or does not buy the resources for its functioning, but operates on it to obtain the “satisfaction”, i.e. the client pays only for the use of the product
23. BUT ONLY SOME PSS TYPES ARE ECO-EFFICIENT! IN FACT, PSS IS NOTHING NEW! (IN EUROPE) NOWADAYS every most of the products involve services and vice versa and change towards service economy is happening anyway services (not products) generate: . more than 50 % of GDP in Europe (. more than 75% of GDP in USA)

38. 5. SYSTEM DESIGN FOR SOCIAL EQUITY AND COHESION
39. 1° REMARK: (in Europe) Product-Service System innovations have received concern mainly: . for their environmental win-win potential . in relation to industrialised contexts A RECENT RESEARCH QUESTION: WHAT ABOUT PSS POTENTIALS FOR SOCIAL EQUITY AND COHESION?
40. 2° REMARK: a promising economic model to couple environmental and socio-ethical sustainability DISTRIBUTED ECONOMIES: “ selective share of production distributed to regions where activities are organized in the form of small scale, flexible units that are synergistically connected with each other ” [IIIEE, SWEEDEN, 2006]
