Marketed as "the industry's first circular system that will prolong the life of products up to 100 years," the refurbishing home hardware initiative seeks the brand accepting sold products—from [door handles and bathroom fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dornbracht-atelier) to other home hardware—for refurbishment. D Line promises to "fix, replace, and brush" well-used products making them good as new. The brand can re-handle the same product up to four times. D Line notes that "with each Re-handle the 20-year product warranty period is renewed." The firm estimates that with each Re-handle®, up to 90% of CO2 emissions can be stopped from entering the environment.
