Polymeric materials used for packaging have unsolved environmental sustainability problems. The ideal packaging must be recyclable and/or compostable, with a unique recycling channel. This is focused on the development of an innovative eco-composite material based on water-soluble polymeric matrix reinforced with cellulose fibers up to 60 % w/w: Poly-Paper. The material can be processed by conventional processes of thermoplastics (extrusion, thermoforming, injection moulding, 3D printing) and can be recycled together with paper-based materials. This work describes the innovative expanded version of Poly-Paper and the developed forming technology: Water Shaping, able to give the material a great impact and energy absorption capacity in packaging applications.

This paper aiming at the housing problem of urban young drifters, this paper explored the community service mode
which conformed to the needs of urban young drifters from the perspective of service design. Based on the Service
Experience Engineering method, this paper took “ YOU+ International youth Community” as the research case and
studied the demand trend research through context research, user research and demands analysis. Moreover, this
paper studied the service value network in terms of the stakeholder, the business model research and completed the
service prototype through the service blueprint and the service contact. With the study of the present living situation
of young drifters, this paper grasped the value of young drifters, synthesized various design means, constructed
a ‘habitation plus living’ community service model which conformed to the characteristic of young drifters. In this
way a sustainable circle of value creation would be created, and the mutual benefit of the young drifters, the community
and the city would be finally realized.

Considered innovative and radical due to the way they disrupt consumerist lifestyles, ‘sustainable product service systems’ (s.PSS) can reduce the negative environmental impacts from wasteful consumption. An inventory of existing s.PSS solutions in Oceania was carried out to help inspire entrepreneurs and innovators to champion alternative ways of needs fulfilment and to offer added value to customers with less ecological damage. The search encompassed cases of collaborative consumption lifestyles, redistribution markets, distributed production, and the circular economy. Over 140 innovative cases were found. Analysis showed that the majority of cases found were use-oriented PSS, such as product sharing, renting, leasing or pooling, and there were hardly any innovative cases of product- and result-oriented PSS. While many of the PSS cases in the study demonstrated environmental improvement through minimized resources and waste, others in fact were more material and energy intensive and therefore negated the sustainability advantage.

Product-Service System (PSS) arises as dematerialization strategy to consumption and reduction of firms’ environmental impact. This paper aims to integrate requirements for designing a sustainable PSS in the context of department stores. We identified requirements for a PSS offer through a literature review and focal groups with customers and managers of department stores using the Value Proposition Analysis tool. To prioritize the requirements demanded, we carried out a survey in Southern Brazil with 160 department store customers. Technical and process requirements were prioritized using the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and, based on the Product Service Blueprint, the PSS processes were designed. Among the requirements prioritized, the following were cited: the use of more sustainable fabrics and packages, and the absence of store lines. The prioritized processes of support, product use, and services were designed using the Product-Service Blueprint indicating the stakeholders involved, the integration points, and the sustainability reach point.
