Reducing Electronic Waste by Preventing Incorrect Repair of Cordless Vacuum Cleaners by Providing Traceability with DPP

In the home appliance sector, sustainability challenges related to information barriers hinder effective circular practices, including product/component recovery for spare parts. Lack of comprehensive product information, such as design, materials, components, and repair history, makes it difficult to assess the feasibility of recovery and reuse. Additionally, the industry’s fragmented information systems across manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and repair service providers create barriers to effective information sharing. This lack of interoperability hampers the seamless flow of information necessary for efficient circular practices.
