有可能将生产和消费对环境的影响降到最低的产品服务系统（pss）的新趋势正在出现。本文试图构建PSS的理论框架，并为在研究PSS时识别可能的投资需求提供背景。关于pss的适用性和可行性，有三个主要的不确定因素：公司是否愿意采用它们，消费者是否愿意接受它们，以及它们对环境的影响。主要发现是，成功的pss将需要不同的社会基础设施、人类结构和组织布局，以便以可持续的方式发挥作用。
A new trend of product–service systems (PSSs) that has the potential to minimise environmental impacts of both production and consumption is emerging. This article attempts to build a theoretical framework for PSS and serves as a background for identifying possible investment needs in studying them. There are three main uncertainties regarding the applicability and feasibility of PSSs: the readiness of companies to adopt them, the readiness of consumers to accept them, and their environmental implications. The main finding is that successful PSSs will require different societal infrastructure, human structures and organisational layouts in order to function in a sustainable manner.
