Remanufacturing & Reuse – Consumer Attitudes

Public attitudes, perceptions and behaviour relating to remanufactured, repaired and reused products

Consumer perceptions of remanufactured and reused products are often viewed as a barrier to increased uptake of these goods.

While there have been a number of studies undertaken in this area, it was apparent that a critical overview of research on this subject was much needed.

Following our in-house work on Secondary Markets in 2005, we commissioned a study to review the literature on public perceptions of remanufactured, repaired and reused products. The study, undertaken by The University of Sheffield, comprised of a desk-based study to evaluate and identify the gaps in evidence.

The report, entitled “A review of literature and research on public attitudes, perceptions and behaviour relating to remanufactured, repaired and reused products” is available to download from this page.
