“…However, advances in these areas are likely with rapid progress being made in the application and reliability of big data analytics and AI. More complicated to predict is whether sustainability can be achieved if the PSS model being employed is not originally designed with sustainability in mind (Pieroni et al 2017), as PSS demand a significant shift in society and business organisation. Despite these concerns, PSS provisions are assumed to increase and are reflected in the framework alongside the (Viet et al 2018), all integral to the acquisition of used products (cores), the first step in the remanufacturing system (Xie et al 2015).…”

PurposeTo review the state-of-the-art in smart remanufacturing, highlighting key elements of an Industry 4.0 (I4.0) future that supports circular economy (CE) principles and offer a conceptual framework and research agenda to accelerate digitalisation in this sector.Design/methodology/approachThe Scopus, Web of Science and ScienceDirect databases and search terms “Industry 4.0”, “Internet of things”, “Smart manufacturing” and “Remanufacturing” were used to identify and select publications that had evidence of a relationship between those keywords. The 329 selected papers were reviewed with respect to the triple bottom line (economic, social and environmental). The study benefited from advanced text quantitative processing using NVivo software and a complete manual qualitative assessment.FindingsChanges in product ownership models will affect the remanufacturing industry, with the growth of product-service-systems seen as an opportunity to re-circulate resources and create value. This is being supported by changes in society, user expectations and workforce attributes. Key to the success of remanufacturing in an I4.0 future is the uptake of existing and emerging digital technologies to shorten and strengthen links between product manufacturers, users and remanufacturers.Originality/valueRemanufacturing is recognised as a key CE strategy, which in turn is an important research area for development in our society. This article is the first to study “smart remanufacturing” for the CE. Its uniqueness lies in its focus on the remanufacturing industry and the sustainable application of I4.0 enablers. The findings are used to create a framework that links to the research agenda needed to realise smart remanufacturing.

“…Moreover, existing research suggests that such approaches could also drive innovation (Lozano, 2018; Snyder, Witell, Gustafsson, Fombelle, & Kristensson, 2016), result in the development of new, more sustainable product–service systems (Pieroni, Marques, Moraes, Rozenfeld, & Ometto, 2017; Tukker, 2015), allow for the successful implementation of improved practices as part of sustainable business models (Dentchev et al, 2018; Evans et al, 2017) and connect businesses with citizens to become part of a wider value network (Evans, Norell Bergendahl, Gregory, & Ryan, 2009). In so doing, greater responsibility for environmental and social impacts resulting from the use of products and services might be accepted on both sides (Evans et al, 2017).…”

Above and beyond? How businesses can drive sustainable development by promoting lasting pro‐environmental behaviour change: An examination of the IKEA Live Lagom project

2020

Current global changes require new business approaches driving sustainable development on all fronts. To date, most business approaches have focused on sustainable marketing and corporate social responsibility initiatives. In this field study, we examine IKEA's Live Lagom project, a 3‐year behaviour change initiative that aimed to explore how to go above and beyond conventional approaches demonstrating how businesses could support sustainable development by supporting their customers' attempts to live more sustainable lifestyles. We examined the effectiveness of the project involving multifaceted behaviour change interventions, testing for behavioural changes both during and after the project period. In addition, we explored changes in participants' attitudes towards the company. Findings show that the extensive set of interventions led to changes in pro‐environmental behaviours across all three participant groups with potentially positive impacts on the customer–company relationship. The article thus provides a call for further businesses to engage in similar behaviour change projects that would allow citizens to engage in more sustainable lifestyles and behaviours across contexts.

“…The link was established through the different kinds of stakeholders through five operable levels: product-service characteristics (0), the users (1), the ecosystem (2), the organization (3) and society (4). Pieroni et al [153] analysed nine existing process models and the associated perspectives of practitioners about considering sustainability issues when designing PSS. They concluded that only few examples existed that propose activities, methods or tools to support a sustainable PSS design.…”
