Supporting investments for reuse-reutilization and repair (excluding packaging)

Reuse-reutilization and repair (RRR) activities extend the lifespan of products. They contribute to reducing resource consumption and waste production:

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

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

To support these policies, ADEME can support investments in your equipment dedicated to reuse-reutilization and refurbishment to give a second life to ceded or discarded objects and materials. The aid rate can reach a maximum of 60% of eligible expenses.
