Currently, the practice of buying new, using briefly, and disposing is widespread in Wales, as it is in the rest of the UK and other wealthy, Western countries.
While the mass production of products, such as clothes, phones and household items, has meant more variety, lower cost and greater accessibility, it has also led to significant damage to the environment. Globally, 45% of greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to this ‘take-make-use-dispose-repeat’ model.
The ’Beyond Recycling Strategy’ in Wales aspires to change this situation by moving towards “a universal culture of re-use, repair and remanufacture within our communities and town centres.” Welsh Government’s Programme for Government 2021-2026 commits to supporting “80 repair and re-use hubs in town centres” and “promote repair and re-use facilities to encourage zero-waste shopping.”
As part of this wider repair and re-use project, Welsh Government commissioned WRAP to research and produce a set of actions that are needed to move us towards a universal culture of repair and re-use. This document outlines the immediate actions needed towards fostering a repair and re-use culture in Wales, emphasising the need for responsibility and action beyond government.
The aim of this survey is to invite Welsh residents, businesses and organisations to give valuable feedback on the Consultation Summary Document . Your insights are crucial in ensuring that the Repair and Re-use Routemap reflects the needs and aspirations of Wales.
In this survey, you will be asked to review and provide your thoughts on various aspects of the document. Your voice matters. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this vital consultation process.
Closing date: the consultation is open until Sunday 20 October 2024.
