Wrap Cymru needs your views, ideas, challenges and suggestions on what steps need to be taken by all Welsh residents, businesses and organisations to become a universal culture of repair and re-use.
While the mass production of products, such as clothes, phones and household items, has meant more variety, less cost and greater accessibility, it has also led to significant damage to the environment.
The ’Beyond Recycling Strategy’ in Wales aspires to change this trajectory by moving towards “a universal culture of re-use, repair and remanufacture within our communities and town centres.” The Welsh Government’s Programme for Government 2021 to 2026 commits to develop “80 repair and re-use hubs in town centres” and “promote repair and re-use facilities to encourage zero-waste shopping.”
As part of this wider repair and re-use work, the Welsh Government commissioned Wrap Cymru to research and produce a set of actions that are needed to move Wales towards a universal culture of repair and re-use.
The consultation is open to Welsh residents, businesses and organisations:
