ADEME<\/a>\u00a0wishes to\u00a0raise awareness among the general public<\/strong>\u00a0concerning the\u00a0relevance of\u00a0<\/strong>extending the service life<\/strong>\u00a0of household equipment, through repair in case of failure and the end of cultural or perceived obsolescence.<\/p>\n

With this objective in mind, in 2020, ADEME entrusted RDC Environment with a study aiming to\u00a0evaluate the environmental and economic benefits<\/strong> of service life extension of consumer products and equipment at the household level.<\/p>\n
