Thematic: Greener, More Connected, More social
Programme: Interreg Euro-Med
Lifetime: January 2024 – September 2026

Goal:
The REPper project aims to strengthen the repair economy through supporting SMEs in the repair sector, increasing repair skills, and pursuing the transition to more sustainable consumer choices by overcoming the existing barriers. Re-thinking traditional business models, re-discovering the centrality of human value in the pursuit of innovation and competitiveness, re-viewing behaviours, all toward a circular economy model, is more urgent than ever.

Main actions:
The project will act on 3 levels:

• Supply, with the creation of a transnational network of hubs, aiming at increasing awareness among SMEs and start-ups of the importance of considering repair in business models and production
• Training, through setting up a REPper Factory for upskilling and reskilling repair supervisors, trainers and trainees.
• Demand, by developing a new repair culture through awareness and participatory actions and applying behavioural approaches to nudge users towards circular reflexes and perspectives.
