Value chain insights and opportunities to foster re-manufacturing: adopting a Sustainable Product-Service System approach within tertiary architectures

In a circular perspective, the imperative is to establish a certain level of decoupling between the economic output and the environmental impact that is attached to the production and consumption of the good or service. A circular vision necessarily questions the dynamics ruling the current production and consumption systems, considered in the mainstream economic model as linear flows of inputs and outputs and by nature not compatible with a circular-oriented approach. In this perspective, are described the opportunities of Sustainable Product Service System (S.PSS) for what concern the re-manufacturing value chain of tertiary architecture industries. Indeed, S.PSS has been studied since the end of XXI century as promising organizational and offer models coupling environmental and economic benefits.
