Repair

- Abstract
- Repair entails the fixing of one or several specific malfunctions or performance issues in order to return a product to proper condition or functioning. Issues requiring repair can be cosmetic (e.g., a scratch or dent), functional (e.g., the product does not turn on), or both (e.g., the product’s screen is broken). For every product that is successfully repaired instead of replaced, the need to make a new replacement product is avoided; the substantial waste and environmental impacts associated with material extraction, manufacturing, and transporting the replacement product are avoided. Further, the original product is diverted from becoming waste.
