From November 22 to 30, the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) takes place, an initiative that promotes actions to raise awareness about sustainable resource management and the importance of avoiding waste.
At Tarrago, we firmly believe that one of the most effective ways to reduce waste is by taking care of what we already own and extending the lifespan of our accessories, such as shoes and bags.
What is the EWWR and why is it important?
• The EWWR promotes the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
• It is a Europe-wide campaign involving citizens, businesses, schools, NGOs, and more, encouraging everyone to contribute with concrete actions.
• These actions not only help “clean up,” but also create deeper awareness about sustainable consumption habits.
How to support waste reduction using Tarrago products
Durability over fast consumption
Extending the lifespan of accessories like bags or shoes means reducing waste. By caring for them and using them properly, you avoid replacing them frequently and help counter fast consumerism. At Tarrago, we offer a wide variety of products that allow you to extend the life of leather, suede, and nubuck items, among others.
Repair and maintenance
Part of what we do at Tarrago is provide products and guidance so you can clean, protect, and restore your items. And if our DIY products don’t fully repair that bag or those shoes, we always recommend visiting a professional.
Customization and creativity
Beyond repairing, there is also the option to personalize and let your imagination flow. Repainting shoes you’ve grown tired of, personalizing or customizing a jacket to give it a new style—these are some of the possibilities our products offer to help you avoid discarding items that no longer excite you as they once did.
Awareness and education
We don’t just sell products; we also want to send a message: value what you have, invest in its care, and understand that consumption decisions have an impact.
At Tarrago, we practice waste reduction all year long—it’s part of our philosophy, and this is what we strive to encourage in our customers: to give their items, especially bags and shoes, a second and even third life.
