reparability index

The reparability index is a measure of how easily a product can be repaired when it breaks down. It considers factors like the availability of spare parts, the simplicity of disassembly, and access to repair manuals. A high reparability index indicates that a product is designed for easy repair, encouraging sustainability and reducing electronic waste. In contrast, a low index suggests that repairs may be difficult or costly, often leading consumers to discard the item instead of fixing it. This concept promotes the idea of creating long-lasting, easily maintainable products.
