“…Rebound effects occur when a product is offered at a lower price, which is often the case with shared, reused, or recycled products. The saved money will be spent on alternative consumption, which requires additional resources (Fumikazu et al 2001;Oberender and Birkhofer 2004;Scheepens et al 2016). Furthermore, rebound effects are not only caused by changes in price, but in principle by all constraints that are affected by the utility level of a product (Hofstetter and Madjar 2003;Vivanco and Voet 2014).…”

Summary Product/service‐systems (PSS) that focus on selling service and performance instead of products are often mentioned as means to realize a circular economy (CE), in which economic growth is decoupled from resource consumption. However, a PSS is no implicit guarantee for a CE, and CE strategies do not necessarily lead to decoupling economic growth from resource consumption in absolute terms. Absolute resource decoupling only occurs when the resource use declines, irrespective of the growth rate of the economic driver. In this forum paper, we propose a two‐step framework that aims to support analyses of PSS and their potential to lead to absolute resource decoupling. In the first step, we present four PSS enablers of relative resource reduction that qualify as CE strategies. In the second step, three subsequent requirements need to be met, in order to successfully achieve absolute resource decoupling. Conditions and limitations for this accomplishment are discussed. Danish textile cases are used to exemplify the framework elements and its application. We expect that the framework will challenge the debate on the necessary conditions for CE strategies to ensure absolute resource decoupling.
