Reducing Waste, Protecting the Planet
Every year, millions of appliances are discarded. Many of them could have been repaired and used for years longer, but instead they end up as waste. Large appliances contribute heavily to landfill, and their components like plastics, metals, and chemicals, take decades to break down. By repairing instead of replacing, we reduce the flow of waste and give existing products a longer, more sustainable life.
Cutting Carbon Footprint
It’s not just about waste. Manufacturing new appliances requires significant energy, from mining raw materials to shipping finished products worldwide. All of this adds to the carbon footprint of a single appliance before it even arrives in your kitchen. A repair, by contrast, uses only a fraction of those resources. Choosing to fix an appliance rather than replace it helps cut down on unnecessary emissions and supports a more sustainable way of living.
Make the Most of What You Already Own
Most modern appliances are designed to last many years, but sometimes a minor fault, worn part, or electrical issue gets in the way. In many cases, a repair can restore your appliance to full working order at a far lower cost than buying new. At Zest, our plans are built around that idea: protecting your appliances and helping you get the maximum use out of what you already own.
Saving Money, Saving Resources
Repair is not only the environmentally friendly option, but also usually the budget-friendly option. Replacing a fridge, oven, or washing machine can be a major expense, while a timely repair costs far less. With a Zest Appliance Care Plan, you can make the sustainable choice without worrying about unexpected repair bills.
A Small Change with a Big Impact
On their own, one repair might not seem like much. But across thousands of households, choosing repair over replacement adds up to a powerful collective impact. Less waste, fewer carbon emissions, and a greater respect for the resources that went into making our appliances in the first place.
Happy Repairing!
At Zest, we see repair as more than just fixing what’s broken. It’s about helping households live more sustainably, reducing waste, and protecting the planet, while making sure your home keeps running smoothly. Together, small choices can make a big difference.
