Product-Service System (PSS) has shown great potential in supply chain and logistics management. The potential is even more significant forthe recent sustainable logistics paradigms, for example Physical Internet, that advocate the interconnection and interoperability of logisticsnetworks. The paradigms aim at enhancing flexibility, agility and sustainability of logistics services, based on the seamless sharing of resourcesand services, and on decentralized real-time decision-making. To this end, these paradigms are requiring as well as inciting a number ofinnovation of PSS and services (including new business models) in logistics. This paper discusses the new opportunities and perspectives ofPSS in Physical Internet that is one of the most recent breakthrough paradigms. We also investigate some recent innovative business models,services and practices relevant to PSS and PI, in order to point out emerging research revenues and opportunities.
