What is the meaning of Reuse and Repair of Consumer Goods?

How can we reuse our used and used up products? This is the question our topic addresses. It strives to publicise and frame the reuse of products in a more attractive light.

What is the goal of the Nudge?

We hope to bring sustainable clothing options closer to consumers and aim to frame them in an appealing light. Motivating customers to be more conscious of their purchasing decisions and their consequences is also part of our goal.

A significant amount of the Fast Fashion bought is discarded soon after purchase.

Consumers are becoming aware of the consequences of their consumption and are demanding sustainable alternatives.
Global emissions
The fashion industry alone is responsible for 8-10% of global emissions.
