The European Parliament is promoting new measures to foster a culture of reuse and repair by supporting second-hand shops and local repairers. According to a Eurobarometer survey, 77% of EU citizens try to repair their items before buying new ones. Furthermore, a 2018 European Commission study shows that consumers are three times more likely to buy products labelled as sustainable and repairable.
Premium Services, with its advanced tools, offers manufacturers the opportunity to resell spare parts directly to the general public. This commitment not only facilitates the repair of products, but also promotes the circular economy and sustainability by extending the useful life of goods and reducing e-waste.
The European Parliament wants to create a real right to repair, ensuring better access to professional repairs and promoting do-it-yourself at home. It also proposes the establishment of mandatory labelling on the durability and reparability of products and the use of digital technology for a more sustainable internal market.
Through these initiatives, the EU aims to improve environmental sustainability and create a more resilient and innovative economy.
