The European Commission's Proposal: A Step towards a Greener Future

The European Commission's proposal on new consumer rights for easy and attractive repairs is a significant stride towards sustainability. It recognizes the importance of repair in reducing waste and achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal. The proposal aims to make repair more accessible, cost-effective, and attractive for consumers, encouraging a shift away from the throwaway culture. Repair Circle fully supports this initiative and sees it as a catalyst for change in our society. At Repair Circle, we are excited to be at the forefront of this movement, working hand in hand with the European Commission to transform the way consumers approach repairs.


A one-stop platform for Repair

One of the key aspects of Repair Circle's vision is to create a seamless and efficient matchmaking platform that connects consumers with skilled repairers in their local communities. We believe that enabling easy access to repair services is essential in promoting a more sustainable and circular economy. This aligns perfectly with the recent proposal by the European Commission on promoting the right to repair. By combining the efforts of Repair Circle and the EU proposal on the matchmaking platform, we aim to revolutionize the repair industry and foster a culture of repair and reuse. Together, we can reduce waste, extend the lifespan of products, and contribute to a more sustainable future. The EU's proposal recognizes the importance of providing consumers with accessible options for repair beyond the legal guarantee period.


Empowering Customers with Transparent prices

At Repair Circle, we firmly believe in empowering consumers to make sustainable choices. We understand that transparency and comparability are crucial factors in enabling individuals to make informed decisions about repair. By integrating the European Repair Information Form, Repair Circle provides you with the essential tools to navigate the repair landscape confidently. We believe that it's not just about the cost of repair; it's about considering repair quality, duration, and the availability of spare parts. With our platform, you have access to this valuable information, compare prices, availability and quality of spares, time to fix, proximity of the shop to your location. Thus, enabling you to make choices that align with your preferences and values.


Imagine this: You have a broken gadget, and you want to get it repaired. But you're not just looking for any repair service; you want one that meets your standards of quality and reliability. With Repair Circle's platform, you have the power to request detailed repair information from trustworthy repairers. This newfound transparency ensures that you have all the necessary information at your fingertips, allowing you to compare repair offers and make the best choice for your needs.

Repair Circle: Catalyzing Local Repair Networks

As part of the startup incubator with Impact Hub Berlin's Circular Together program, Repair Circle has been actively promoting local repair networks and empowering individuals to choose repair over replacement. We believe that repair is a powerful tool to combat waste and preserve resources. By connecting consumers with skilled repairers in their area, Repair Circle facilitates a community-centered approach to repair, fostering connections and supporting local businesses.



Economic Benefits: Saving Money, Embracing Sustainability

Local repair, as advocated by Repair Circle, offers significant economic benefits. Choosing repair services provided by skilled professionals is often more cost-effective than buying new products. Repairing instead of replacing not only saves you money in the long run but also contributes to the circular economy. Repair Circle helps you make sustainable choices that align with your budget and values, creating a win-win situation for both your wallet and the environment.


Promoting Sustainable Business Models: Shaping the Future of Production

By choosing repair over replacement, consumers send a clear message to producers and sellers that longevity and repairability are valued. This demand for repair services incentivizes manufacturers to design products that are more durable and repair-friendly, leading to a shift towards sustainable production practices. Repair Circle actively promotes this transition and encourages businesses to embrace repair as a viable and profitable option.


Conclusion

Repair Circle is committed to revolutionizing the repair experience, making it easier than ever for consumers to embrace the right to repair. We envision a future where repair becomes the norm, where products are given a second life, and where sustainability is at the forefront of our choices. Together, with the European Repair Information Form and Repair Circle's platform, we are paving the way towards a more empowered and sustainable future.
