‘Products of Service‘ are an alternative to cradle-to-grave life cycles where consumers only temporarily rent goods from manufacturers so that their valuable components can be directly re-used. In lieu of such enlightened manufacturing practices, a social network has been introduced where anyone can rent out their own possessions to reduce waste: Zilok is a Zipcar for everything. You sign up to rent out your private possessions and locate them on a map of everyone’s shareable resources. The practice of renting encourages higher-quality products, so the tools you will find are often contractor-grade, available to rent at a fraction of the price of the crappy drill you would buy and use only once or twice.
