Nevertheless, the sustainability of these systems has not been systematically assessed and there is a need to develop more guiding principles. In this work, an approach based on the flows between product and service systems is used to facilitate both the definition of PSS boundaries and the identification of links between the systems involved. In addition, the life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) method is applied to simultaneously quantify environmental, economic and social impacts. Two cases are analysed. First, the production process of cow '' s milk, in which a veterinary service is required, is studied using data measured from a dairy farm. Next, the sustainability of a clothing retail service taking, into account that a construction product is involved in its creation stage, is evaluated. In each PSS specific life cycle, stages are analysed, a functional unit referred to both products and services is defined, and quantitative indicators are selected to assess each sustainability dimension. The category of workers is selected to evaluate social aspects. The relative incidence of each system is evaluated and the impacts of different factors on the PSS sustainability are analysed. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.251 2020 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 124 / 273 = 0.454 2020 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 60 / 125 = 0.48 2020 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 30 / 44 = 0.682 2020 Q3 T3 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 6 / 9 = 0.667 2020 Q3 T3 0.611 2020 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2020 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2020 Q1 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2020 Q1 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2020 Q1 Geography, Planning and Development 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Santolaya Sáenz, José Luis Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7041-483X Biedermann, Anna Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-8313-1628 Serrano Tierz, Ana Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5169-7042 5002 305 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
