In the transition towards to a sustainable society for all, an emerging design discipline: System Design for Sustainability
for All (SD4SA) has been proposed by the LeNSin project-the International Learning Network of networks
on Sustainability (Erasmus+ programme, EU funded-2015-2019), where focusing on developing the new knowledge-
base and know-how for designing Sustainable Product-Service System (S.PSS) applied to Distributed Economies
(DE). This paper describes a (co)-design and visualisation tool within the SD4SA discipline: “Stakeholder
System Map for S.PSS&DE”, deeply modified from the first system map tool (Jégou et al., 2002) and adapted to
the specific context of designing S.PSS solutions to DE models, that can enable an effective integration of seven DE
types and five DE configurations. It has been evaluated within a set of pilot courses of LeNSin project, but also with
experts to lead to the final tool that is freely available and open access on the LeNS website.

Since 2014, the Circular Economy (CE) concept is gaining an important role in the European context thanks to the specific direction given by the EU policy. This research wants to frame Italian companies who are working on CE context to understand mainly which is their approach and awareness to CE and if the design is playing a role in this transition. At the beginning of 2019, an online questionnaire was sent to the actors present in the app database ‘Mercato Circolare’ who, since March 2017, is mapping the Italian situation collecting the actors related to the CE selecting companies, events and experiences of circular citizenship. Despite the response rate was 14%, the results are interesting: 100% are SMEs; 21% are not aware to work on CE; >52% identified difficulties with value appreciation; design competencies are present in the 66% of realities and in 29% the designers by formation are founders.
