	answer text	<p>As set out in our recently published Resources and Waste Strategy, we want the UK to be a world leader in resource efficiency. We want to move away from being a ‘throw-away’ society. A crucial part of that is making products last longer by ensuring they can be readily recycled, repaired or reused.</p><p>We are supporting measures in the Ecodesign Directive product regulations to encourage repair and re-use of a range of products and have committed to match or where economically practicable exceed this ambition once we leave the EU. We will use similar mechanisms to the current system to drive change in product standards by gradually removing from the market the least repairable products and demanding a certain level of repairability and looking to cover more product groups than those in the EU Ecodesign Directive.</p><p> </p>
