Denmark | A study from Aalborg University reveals that 40% of the embedded climate impact of household appliances is lost when they are discarded instead of repaired. The research also highlights that one-third of defective appliances are thrown away without any repair attempts. To combat this waste and reduce electronic scrap, Denmark has introduced a tax deduction scheme from 2025 through 2027, allowing citizens to deduct labor costs for repairing home appliances like refrigerators and washing machines.
