Why choose to repair?
The total energy requirements of an (electric household) appliance are not limited to the energy required for its use; it also includes the energy required throughout its entire life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials and manufacturing (embodied energy), to its use and end-of-life recycling or destruction. New appliances are generally more energy efficient, but if the entire life cycle of the appliance is considered, it is often more sustainable to repair the appliance than to replace it.
