Abstract: The awareness of users regarding uses of reused products are raised, and their awareness regarding the environment is thereby increased. An information processing system includes information acquisition means for acquiring reuse information, the reuse information being information about an operating status of a reused product; storage means for storing association information associating the reused product with information about a terminal of a previous owner of the product before the product is reused as the reused product; and transmission processing means for transmitting, based on the association information stored in the storage means, the reuse information of the reused product acquired by the information acquisition means to a terminal associated with the reused product.

Abstract: The information processing system includes: a data acquisition unit that acquires component data of a reusable product related to environmental contribution of the reusable product including at least the number of times of reuse of the reusable product; a selection unit that selects a candidate of the reusable product that is a replacement component candidate when the user replaces the component; a calculation unit that calculates an environmental contribution degree of the candidate of the reusable product selected by the selection unit based on the component data of the reusable product acquired by the data acquisition unit; and a presentation unit that presents, to the user, the environmental contribution degree of the candidate of the reusable product calculated by the calculation unit together with the candidate of the reusable product selected by the selection unit.
