Coincidentally, we are collecting and sorting the questions frequently asked by customers, so that we can make a reference when choosing topics before writing articles; we did not expect to find the recent "circular economy" articles about "The circular economy that Taiwan needs (1) green product planning" has aroused many people's positive affirmation, and even many customers were curious and asked about the mittag jewelry products recycling and replacement service while buying new items. The topic of circular economy that has been popular internationally for several years has also begun to arouse curiosity and attention from Taiwan consumers. In this case, let us further explain the mittag jewelry products recycling and replacement service (love)!

Increasing the use of goods

According to our private unofficial survey, compared with westerners, we generally have a shorter usage period for jewelry, that is to say, the idle rate of jewelry purchased by us will be higher, and the average wearing life of a jewelry is about 1-2 years, and then the jewelry faces the fate of being stored away or even abandoned. Hence, mittag jewelry hopes to increase the service life of the jewelry, because we know clearly, if the abandoned jewelry are not handed over to professional goldsmiths for dismantling and re-refining for reuse, it will be directly discarded and buried or burned down to ash.

"Producing high-quality product means showing respect and responsibility to customers and product users ... Because longer product life means that we can use fewer consumables, so we need to make fewer things, resulting in less damage. " This has always been the goal of mittag jewelry's efforts. We hope to manufacture high-quality products so that customers can wear them comfortably for a very long time. We are happy to provide free cleaning services, and also provide lifetime maintenance services (the cost will be charged according to the degree of repair);
