Abstract
The debate on selling and leasing has been in the spot recently. This paper revisits the leasing strategy and develops a new evaluation model to capture economic value and environmental impacts of different leasing strategies. A case study employed shows that a high-cost product is more favourable than its low-cost counterparts in attaining economic value through its higher recovery value and that the level of reusability improvement from maintenance and upgrade services can determine whether leasing with services is cost effective. These findings provide useful suggestions for business managers to design eco-efficient leasing strategies and have policy implications for government and environmental strategists to encourage mainstreaming sustainability in key business decisions.
