About this process
How can we accelerate a culture of repairing products? How can we make it simpler to repair? How can we enable & access know-how on where in ZH repairing services exist?
Current status: repair services EXIST in ZH across the city but demand is still a niche.
Landscape of Zurich's repair offerings: Information platforms such as...
- www.transition-zuerich.ch: Karte – Transition Zürich (transition-zuerich.ch)
- www.reparaturfuehrer.ch
- Erz: mobile Recycling sites (TEST 2022); Abfall-ABC
-
www.zuerich.repair, www.recreazzz.repair; https://pretareporter.ch/de/home; https://reparabel.ch; www.revamp-it.ch; https://nosweatshop.ch/
https://repair-cafe.ch/de - Coming soon: dedicated CE-Site “Circular Zürich” -> support part for end-consumers
- Regulatory/legal developments
- Working on “right to repair” (EU: announced in 2022)
Solutions aimed for: How can nudges contribute to reduce waste volumes? How can nudges support the needed transition to a circular economy by boosting reparations instead of disposal/replacement (expand life span of products)?
Areas of focus:
- General consumer electronics
- Textiles
- Furniture (“ikea effect”?)
- Other product categories
- General Nudging of Repair Services, new business models…
- Know the limits of repairing
- Cheap product /not designed for repairing -> unrealistic benefit for the effort/price needed
- Existing solutions/product categories where repairing seems to work
- Bikes and cars
- Communication electronics (smart phone “doctors”, Apple store, Revendo, ...)
