Repair not Replace

"Repair not replace" is a balanced approach to maintenance that encourages fixing existing items when possible, rather than discarding and buying new ones. It emphasizes restoring the original function and extending the lifespan of equipment, devices, or structures, which can save money, reduce waste, and be more environmentally friendly. This mindset involves assessing whether repairs are feasible and cost-effective compared to replacement, promoting sustainability and responsible resource use. Ultimately, it supports maintaining quality and value by prioritizing repairs whenever they make practical sense.
