Although the circular economy is not a new concept, most companies still follow linear economy models. Repairing is a circular economy strategy that slows resource usage. However, the repair is relatively overlooked with respect to other strategies. The objective of this paper is to investigate how to design repairable products to be compliant with the “Right to Repair” paradigm. Through a systematic literature review, this study collects and classifies design practices relevant for quick and easy repairing, providing a definition and some application cases for them.

Abstract

Although the circular economy is not a new concept, most companies still follow linear economy models. Repairing is a circular economy strategy that slows resource usage. However, the repair is relatively overlooked with respect to other strategies. The objective of this paper is to investigate how to design repairable products to be compliant with the “Right to Repair” paradigm. Through a systematic literature review, this study collects and classifies design practices relevant for quick and easy repairing, providing a definition and some application cases for them. It finally discusses the adoption of Digital Technologies to reinforce Design for Repair practices.
