Circular economy and the role of repair shops
SimpleStore BlogCircular economy and the role of repair shops
What is circular economy?
Unlike the linear model (extract → produce → use → discard), circular economy keeps products in use as long as possible.
Your shop's role
1. Repair = extending device life 2. Refurbishment — combine good parts from different devices 3. Recycling — proper disposal when unrepairable 4. Education — teach customers about repair vs. replacement
Business model: repair, buy used devices, refurbish and resell, reuse parts, recycle the rest.
