The Restart Network launch UK Repair & Reuse Declaration

This means:

• Making repair more affordable, through tax reductions and repair vouchers.
• Expanding the UK’s right to repair regulations to cover all consumer products, strengthen design standards and remove barriers to repair for everyone.
• Introducing a repair index to help the public choose more repairable and durable products.
• Introducing requirements and targets for reuse and repair to be prioritised over recycling and providing investment to make this a reality. This should be a key part of amended extended producer responsibility rules.
• Supporting a new generation of repairers through repair training, accreditation and apprenticeships.
