Material input per unit of service (MIPS) is a unit of eco-efficiency that examines sustainability of production by breaking down products into services they provide and examining the amount of materials that needs to be displaced in order to provide a unit of service

Example:

Automobile factories don't make automobiles but services of transportation. A car is broken down into the mileage it provides as services and that is evaluated against total material displacement in manufacturing, fueling, maintenance and waste disposal

History

The MIPS Concept was originally developed in The Wuppertal Institute by a team lead by Prof. Friedrich Schmidt-Bleek in 19931993 is a common year starting on Friday and marked the Beginning of the International Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination (1993-2003 Events January January 1 Czechoslovakia divides. Establishment of independent Slovakia and Czech Republic.
