Supporting studies and diagnostics for reuse-reutilization and repair (excluding packaging)

ADEME can support all structures involved in the circular economy in financing a territorial diagnosis or preliminary study for a reuse-reutilization and repair (RRR) investment.

The aid rate can reach 80% of the study cost.

Reuse-reutilization and repair activities extend the lifespan of products and contribute to reducing resource consumption and waste production:

• More than one million tons of products are reused or reutilized each year.
• The number of structures specialized in the second life of products is constantly increasing.

The measures planned and objectives set in the law against waste for a circular economy encourage the development of these activities. They require consumer information on reparability and suitability for reuse or reutilization.

To support these policies, ADEME supports territorial diagnostics and feasibility studies contributing to increasing and encouraging the supply and demand for reused and repaired flows.
