Product service systems: some Philippine examples

Abstract

Product service systems (PSS) have the potential to radically reduce the negative environmental impacts of wasteful consumption. An inventory of existing solutions in the Philippines was carried out to inspire entrepreneurs and innovators with alternative ways of needs fulfillment that are less ownership-centric, and to offer new forms of added value to consumers via everyday solutions that can be more ecologically beneficial. The search encompassed cases of collaborative consumption lifestyles, redistribution markets, and the circular economy.
