Abstract

Effective repair practices are identified as a key strategy to prolong product lifetimes. This study examines how repair practices differ across product categories at repair cafés in Denmark. 370 incoming products are divided into four categories: static, mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical, and are then evaluated based on fixers’ previous repairability experience. Each type was found to have varying critical repair steps, barriers, reparability likability, and tools needed. Overall, this study highlights the importance of understanding critical repair steps and barriers to promote sustainable consumption practices and may inform future product
design and repair support initiatives.
