A bigger success than I expected.

- 55% of all people buying a device were aware of this resource

- 76% of those people that in 2021 purchased a new device and indicated to have noticed the index, found the index to be helpful for orienting their final purchase choice

- French authorities hope that the repairability index will contribute to reaching a repair rate of 60% until 2025

I think people naturally, instinctively want to repair things, and expect them to be fixable. A disposable culture of sealed, one-use products is very recent, skin deep, and largely unwanted. I hope we can get this level of awareness and action in the UK.
