One-Paragraph Description

REPper – REPair PERspective is a transnational initiative funded by the Interreg Euro-MED Programme that acts on the urgent need to grow the repair economy as a concrete business opportunity, to upskill and reskill workers in circular economy fields and to shift mindsets among consumers towards repair and reuse. The project brings together 10 partners from 8 Mediterranean countries to create a network of pilot services for repair SMEs, establish the REPper Factory for vocational training, and lead campaigns and participatory actions that nurture a culture of repair through behavioural approaches. By fostering sustainable business models, technical competencies, and consumer awareness, REPper aims to unlock the economic, social and environmental potential of repair as a key pillar of the circular economy.
