Repair Instead of Buying New in Switzerland
We all know it: endless mountains of rubbish of electronic waste, furniture, clothes and much more - often in very good condition. In Switzerland, we generate over 700 kg of waste per person every year. This makes us one of the negative leaders in the whole of Europe.
That is why other approaches are needed. One particularly important solution is repairing. This makes it possible to extend the life of objects and save the resources needed to replace them.

In original language:
Reparieren statt neu kaufen
Wir kennen es alle: unendliche Müllberge von Elektroschrott, Möbel, Kleidern und vielem mehr – oft sehr gut erhalten. Wir verursachen in der Schweiz jährlich über 700 kg Abfall pro Person. Damit gehören wir zu den negativen Spitzenreitern in ganz Europa.
Deshalb braucht es andere Ansätze. Eine besonders wichtige Lösung ist das Reparieren. Diese ermöglichen es, die Lebensdauer von Gegenständen zu verlängern und die Ressourcen für einen Ersatz einzusparen.
