Wrap Cymru is calling for views on what steps need to be taken for Wales to become a universal culture of repair and re-use.
It says that 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.
Welsh Government’s Beyond Recycling Strategy, which it describes as its plan to make the circular economy a reality, looks to move towards “a universal culture of re-use, repair and remanufacture within communities and town centres.”
The Welsh Government’s Programme for Government 2021 to 2026 also 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:
Wrap Cymru is asking contributors to

The consultation closes on 20 October 2024.
