The pay‐off period of eco Sample Clauses

The pay‐off period of eco innovation is too long This barrier is directly relevant for the demonstrators, and three of the four interviewed SMEs deemed it relevant. The only firm that did not do so is the one that chose a product service system (PSS) business model, which suggests that this PSS business models can help overcome barriers to ecodesign in small firms. In‐house solutions to decrease the pay‐off period include increasing costs control to reduce them, setting up commercial & strategic partnerships, and conducting market analyses to enhance the sales of LED products and components. Enabling to spread the changing of lights over time could also help shorten the pay‐off period of investments in eco‐innovative LED products and services. This could be done by adopting a new business model to lease light, which ensures stable revenues for the eco‐innovative firm (as suggested by the estimates of a cycLED demonstrator). External support to overcome this barrier can take the form of government subsidies, bank loans, and other funding instruments such as eco‐innovation vouchers to finance the external costs incurred in developing eco‐innovative solutions.2 Tools and training can also be supplied to help potential innovators as well as their clients to calculate the pay‐off period of an eco‐innovation more accurately, e.g. by taking into account the fact that eco‐innovative products last longer and can integrate immaterial value (e.g. an improved image) generated by a sound ecodesign strategy.
