MSPI Graduation Presentations

The results of unsustainable product design are evident worldwide. Products contribute to global sustainability problems such as climate change, landfill waste and inhumane work environments during manufacturing. There is a need for system innovators who can create leap frog solutions, manage a whole innovation process for sustainability and who have a strategic approach. These are some of the challenges that the students of the master's program in Sustainable Product-Service Systems Innovation (MSPI) at the Blekinge Institute of Technology have been focusing on during their studies. For their graduation the students developed interesting thesis projects related to the development of sustainable products and services.
