The Restart Network launch UK Repair & Reuse Declaration

The Restart Network are asking UK legislators and decision-makers at all levels to support repair and reuse to thrive.

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.
