Strategy description: Purchasing building products in a form of service instead of owning the products
Example: Leasing elevators, office fit-outs, and lights.
Advantages: There is an economic advantage of providing building products as a service, namely saving the costs of unexpected repairs. Obsolescence-wise, providing building products as a service facilitates replacing these products with new ones or returning them to the provider; thereby avoiding waste generation.
Disadvantages/challenges: Providers of this type of product are limited.
