At BRAKEABLE, we advocate extending product lifecycles as a key strategy to reduce carbon emissions. A foundational element of prolonged product use is exceptional quality, which companies frequently struggle to achieve.
We provide tools for companies to measure and improve their products' quality, encouraging repair, promoting resale, and enabling reuse. Our goal is to drive sustainability in all its forms — reducing waste and carbon emissions for the planet, and empowering products that deliver a lower cost per use to the users due to their outstanding quality.
When weighing sustainability between diferent materials, the most impactful question revolves around the product's achievable usage lifespan.
Our research with the German Institute of Textile and Fibre Research (DITF) and VAUDE unveils significant differences in carbon emissions based on the materials used for similar use cases. These striking insights go beyond conventional gains from often debated sustainabilit strategies (for example transportation changes).
