Abstract:
The implementation of product-service systems (PSS) is prone to the occurrence of rebound effects (RE). This research aims to systematically identify the rebound mechanisms in a PSS context. Through the case study of a use-oriented PSS offer, we showcase a structured way to address RE that led to a comprehensive mapping of 23 mechanisms. The analysis demonstrates an approach to mapping rebound triggers, drivers, and mechanisms within the actors’ realms that designers can apply to ensure the potential sustainability gains of PSS offers.
