If the deduction were more relevant for these repairs, a significantly larger number of household appliances would be repaired instead of being replaced with new ones. Now, instead, these are decreasing down to 0.7 percent of the total square deduction in Sweden and we must change that.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sharp proposals for increased circularity<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">APPLiA has therefore put forward sharp improvement proposals in consultation procedures and other contexts, which would in turn influence the willingness to repair and service white goods.
