How to fight obsolescence through reuse

How to fight obsolescence through reuse

While many goods and pieces of equipment are discarded or dismantled each year without capturing their potential value, reuse is emerging as a strategic solution to maintain their functionality and extend their lifespan.
From packaging to WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment), including industrial machinery, these products often remain functional despite their “obsolescence.” Repair and spare parts therefore become key strategies for restoring value to obsolete items and keeping equipment and products in use.
Waste reduction, extended product lifespans, greater independence from manufacturers, and savings in time and money… this Masterclass will explore the key challenges of combating obsolescence through reuse across various sectors.
