Designing Product-Service Systems to Close Resource Loops: Circular Design Guidelines
Open accessAbstract
Product-service systems (PSSs) are advocated consumption models in a Circular Economy as they have potential to reduce consumption’s dependency on resources. We proposed a set of guidelines to design PSSs that facilitate closed resource loops. The guidelines can be used to design PSSs that state and govern lifetime which improves the likelihood to establish a resource flow; enable the planning of flows; and can be used to optimise the value of resources. The guidelines also guide the design of PSSs that intercept and transition obsolete resources which is necessary and vital to close resource loops. This work starts to outline an agenda for research on obsolescence, take-back schemes and resource value in the context of closed-loop PSSs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
