This research presents the results of an investigation into the acceptance of a
hypothetical eco-efficient service for the reuse of children s bedroom furniture. It
was identified that the composition of children s bedroom undergoes constant
renovation due to a functional obsolescence. Children s furniture has short-term
use as it loses its function to keep pace with child growth and development. This
refurbish practice increases furniture consumption and has negative impacts on the
environment. Therefore, an eco-efficient service issuggested as a solution to reduce
the impacts of this consumption. Eco-efficient services are considered as an
innovative strategy in the economy, which through eco-efficient reuse cycles can
make the production and consumption system more sustainable. These services are
based on the transfer of ownership from the consumer to the producer, who will be
responsible for maintaining the eco-efficiency of production and extending
product s use life. Research, however, asserts that consumer acceptance of nonownership services faces barriers and is subject to change in consumption
behaviour. Literature and field studies were carried out. Field studies were based
on semi-structured interviews and consumer-oriented questionnaires. This research
identified factors that influence consumer acceptance. Among the most relevant
material factors were: the cost-benefit ratio and the perception of service adequacy
to bedroom s furniture composition. The most relevant psychosocial factors
identified were the symbolic value attributed to new objects, the change in the selfobject relationship and the environmental value of the proposal. It was concluded
that, whilst readiness to accept service depends on consumer s perception of service
benefits when compared to purchase and ownership, there is a positive attitude
towards eco-efficient services.
