Why Durability

Why we improve Durability

We focus on Durability, because quality and repairability make products last longer. This prevents unnecessary waste and ensures that recycling becomes the final step, not the first solution.

Customers want Durable products

EU consumer research shows clear demand for repairable, long-lasting products. Designing for durability and easy repair meets that demand, builds trust, reduces service costs, and aligns with tightening EU rules.

“79% of EU citizens think manufacturers should be legally required to make repairs easier”

“77% of EU citizens would rather repair a product than buy a new one”

“92% of Europeans want product lifespan information on labels”

Legislation is moving towards Durable products

Europe is moving from “replace” to “last longer and be fixable.” New rules emphasize minimum durability and reliability, clearer lifespan info, access to parts/manuals and software support, incentives for repair-friendly design, and longer guarantees after repair.

Durability equals quality perception and profit

When products are built to last and easy to repair, they signal quality, elevate brand perception, support price premiums, reduce returns, and grow margins through service and parts.
