Repair is another form of reuse. Save money and resources by maintaining and repairing durable products.

If maintained and repaired regularly, products such as clothing and appliances are less likely to wear out and will not need to be replaced as often. Some items you may regularly repair yourself or take to a local repair shop, but there are likely other repair businesses or specialists in your area that you haven't visited belore.
