On 26 January 2023, the Policy Learning Platform organised an online workshop on ‘Reuse and Repair in a Circular and Social Economy’.
Product re-use and repair are the building blocks of the circular economy preventing resource depletion, diverting products and materials from landfills and incineration and reducing energy use. They also have a positive social impact, such as a high job creation potential and employment opportunities for people struggling in the labour market.
The workshop focused mainly on behavioural change and local value creation through reuse and repair and benefitted from keynote presentations by rreuse and Behaven.
To complement this knowledge, Fred Dorsimont, Managing Director of Behaven, offered to write an article on the role of behavioural science in driving reuse and repair which you can find here.
Recording of the webinar can be rewatched at https://www.interregeurope.eu/find-policy-solutions/workshop/reuse-and-repair-in-the-circular-economy.
