The Product Service System (PSS) concept has been proposed as a methodology to design innovative business models from economic, environmental, and socio-cultural perspectives. In recent years, some interesting fields of study have emerged, suggesting feasible ways for sustainable development, like sharing economy, circular economy, product service system design, and sustainable entrepreneurship.
