The growth is fuelled by shifting consumer preferences for sustainable alternatives to new products and the rise of refurbishment services, according to experts. The implementation of new EU right-to-repair legislation is seen as a critical driver of this transformation. The directive, requiring all member states to promote repair and refurbishment by 2026, strengthens the circular economy by encouraging longer product lifecycles and less waste.<\/p>\n<p>This trend is not limited to toys. Refurbishment services are flourishing across categories such as electronics and clothing. Platforms like Tingit, which offers clothing repair and resale services, illustrate how recommerce is evolving to cater to consumers who prioritise both quality and sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>However, challenges remain. Consumer concerns about the safety and quality of second-hand products persist. Slap\u0161ys notes that businesses can overcome these barriers by emphasising quality assurance processes. For example, IKEA\u2019s recent foray into second-hand furniture markets in Spain and Norway, coupled with care and repair services, demonstrates how established brands can reinforce customer confidence in this sector.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/recyclinginternational.com\/business\/refurbishment-wave-boosts-europes-second-hand-market\/59445\/\">Recycling International<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-643\/\">Refurbishment wave boosts Europe\u2019s second-hand market<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,696,13740,15006],"class_list":["post-136366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-europe","tag-refurbishment","tag-second-hand"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136366\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
