Repair, rental and used goods guide

"Repairing instead of throwing away" is the basic idea behind the repair and rental guide for the state capital of Wiesbaden.

Repair

Every repair extends the service life of an appliance. If a product is used for twice as long as before, the resources (raw materials and energy) used to manufacture it will also last twice as long and the amount of waste will be reduced.

Rent

All too often, a particular appliance or machine is only needed for a short period of time. This is where renting pays off. It has the advantage of saving resources and costs, as an expensively purchased appliance often ends up in the cellar after a single use.


With the repair and rental guide, the Environment Agency wants to make it easier to find companies that repair appliances and furniture or rent out machines, for example.
