Material Input Per Unit of Service is a meter 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 an Unit of Service

Example:
Car 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 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 1993
