Reuse & Repair Sample Clauses

Reuse & Repair. Secondly, reusing products is another way for products to be used more. The reuse of products and how this can be measured will be discussed in this section. When talking about reusing clothing, this can be about buying second-hand clothing, but also about rental services. Xxxxxx (2017) stated in his research that second- hand clothing is an approach in which little energy is required to reuse a discarded product. Additionally, Cayzer et al. (2017) advocated rental schemes since they enable customers to access higher quality products and materials without having to purchase the product themselves. However, reuse often goes hand-in-hand with repair. Due to the fact that these two concepts are very intertwined, I will analyse these together. It is not surprising that Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxx et al. (2016) and Xxxxx et al. (2018) both combine these two principles into one variable. The variable B in the Longevity Indicator and the variable 𝑁𝐵 both refer to products that are repaired, refurbished and reused. B measures the extended lifetime through refurbishing and reusing the product. To measure B the formula exists of three components: w (the percentage of products returned), x (the percentage of these products refurbished) and U (the lifetime of a newly refurbished product). The following formula is used: 𝐵1 = 𝑤1 × 𝑥1 × 𝑈1 The formula can be extended in the case that a product is refurbished twice, using the following formula: 𝐵2 = 𝑤1 × 𝑥1 × 𝑤2 × 𝑥2 × 𝑈2 In order to get all the additional months, all of these sub-formulas are added to each other to get the value for B. Furthermore, Xxxxx et al. (2018) do not count the longevity of the goods that are reused or repaired, but take the sum of the products of the goods returned (𝑎𝑗), and the proportion of those that are returned, which are then refurbished (xx ). This can be seen in the formula below. 𝑁𝐵 = ∑ [(𝖦 𝑎𝑗 xx )] Xxxxxxx et al. (2017) expressed the need for facilitated access to product components in order to be able to repair and reuse products. However, since we are talking about clothing, which does not need very complex ways to be disassembled in order to repair them, we will leave out a metric that measures the ease of disassembly for the sake of simplicity and comprehensibility of the Circular Fashion Indicator. Although these concepts of reuse and remanufacturing are intertwined, and thus can be measured together, we need to take into account that some of these approaches are less circu...
