SPOKE 2
Eco-Design strategies: from materials to Product Service Systems – PSS
Ambition: develop and experiment with a portfolio of PSS eco-design strategies that support all design phases: design of PSS architecture, materials, and components; cradle-to-cradle PSS lifecycle design and impacts evaluation; service and communication design for social innovation and behavioural change.
Objectives
- Producing a portfolio of eco-design strategies and related methodologies and tools that support all phases of PSS design, and lifecycle management.
- Developing a cradle-to-cradle design approach based on new models of PSS impact assessment along their entire lifecycle up to their potential zero-impact dismission, recycle, reuse and/or remanufacturing.
- Elaborating and experimenting design actions to promote social innovation and to support sustainable behavioural change.
SPOKE 2
Main activities
01
Development of methodologies for PSS architecture design (e.g. zero-waste and less energy consumption), and design and finishing of smart, bio-based/inspired materials and components.
02
Development of Metaverse environments for leaner PSS development and made-to-measure design methodologies, and of integrated systems for their manufacturing eco-efficiency.
03
Development of cradle-to-cradle design approaches for PSS reuse, recycle and remanufacturing, lifecycle assessment of such approaches and redesign of production processes (less energy and raw materials).
