In this episode of the Circular Economy Excellence podcast, I explore Chapter 6 of my book, Circular Economy Opportunities and Pathways for Manufacturers – Manufacturing Renewed, focusing on the 3rd R—Repair.For decades, planned obsolescence has dominated product lifecycles, but in a circular economy, repair is a business opportunity, not an afterthought.

Join me as two AI-powered voices discuss how manufacturers can turn repair into a profit driver by embracing:

The Right to Repair movement and its impact on regulations and consumer expectations

Modular product design, making repairs easier and extending product lifecycles

Digital tools like remote diagnostics and Digital Product Passports to enhance repair efficiency

New business models, including in-house repair centers, mobile repair services, and subscription-based maintenance

Discover how repairability transforms product design, sales strategies, and customer relationships while creating new revenue streams.
