Kurzzusammenfassung

Das Projekt fördert die Reparatur von Möbeln und Innenausbau durch finanzielle Anreize für Bewohner*innen und Gewerbe im Quartier. Lokale Handwerksbetriebe bieten entsprechende Services an und verlängern so die Lebensdauer hochwertiger Produkte. Dadurch werden Ressourcen geschont, Abfall reduziert und die lokale Wirtschaft gestärkt.

Repair pays off!

What should be created?
Good quality products are more expensive at first glance, but can be used for much longer than cheap products. Calculated over the years, the costs are often even lower. In addition, a good product is more fun than a cheap disposable product. A high-quality product can also be repaired and renewed so that the pleasure of it lasts. It is known to all of us and is also used in many places and financially supported by the municipalities. This year, the city of Zurich is launching a repair bonus for electrical appliances and clothing. In other cities, repairs to furniture or interior furnishings are also financially supported. Sooner or later, this will also be introduced in the city of Zurich. We are a traditional carpentry company in the mixed residential-commercial area of Alt-Wiedikon. We manufacture high-quality furniture, kitchens, doors and other interior design products right on your doorstep. We also offer a repair service for such products, even if they were not produced by us. We are part of this pilot project and would like to offer our services. It would therefore be gratifying if residents and businesses would receive financial support, which would be financed from the fund of the pilot project.
