Behaviour change for a circular economy – How to support reuse, repair and refurbishment schemes

Reuse, repair, refurbish – we all know that using products for longer is an essential part of the circular economy.

 

But switching to more sustainable consumption patterns – like repairing an electronic device or returning a reusable coffee mug – often means that citizens have to invest extra time and effort. So how can we make reuse, repair and refurbishment schemes an ‘easy option’ for citizens and encourage behaviour change?

Watch the recording of our webinar to learn how organizations around the world have tackled this challenge!
