ABSTRACT
The introduction of Product-Service System (PSS) innovation for sustainability into design has led design researchers to work on defining new skills of a more strategic nature, which aim at system sustainability through a strategic convergence of interests and are coherent with the satisfaction-based approach. The chapter discusses the main approaches and skills of Product-Service System Design for Sustainability: satisfaction-system approach; stakeholder configuration approach; and system sustainability approach. Satisfaction-system approach describes the design of the satisfaction of a particular demand and all its related products and services. Stakeholder configuration approach presents the design of the interactions of the stakeholder of a particular satisfaction-system. System sustainability approach focus on design of such stakeholder interactions that continuously seeks new, beneficial eco-efficient and socially equitable, locally based and cohesive solutions. Conservation and biocompatibility entails the design for system stakeholders' interactions that improves the overall amount of the system's resource conservation or renewability.
