4. A Glance at SPREE Project
Goal
To assist and enhance the creating of a resource-efficient
Europe, characterized by an absolute decoupling of economic
growth and prosperity from unsustainable and inefficient use
of resources.
Approach
Servicizing Systems, such as car sharing, laundry services or
integrated pest management, can bring us closer to achieving
this goal. We use Agent-Based Model (ABM) to simulate
potential of servicing to achieve absolute decoupling.
Product
Servicizing Policy Packages enabling a country or a region to
develop and implement effective policy measures directed at
facilitating Servicizing Systems and benefiting from their
economic, environmental and social advantages.
