Why is it often cheaper to buy new than repair old and how can repairing be encouraged on different levels of society?

I know EU has the Right to Repair initiative and that's a step to the right direction. Still I'm left to wonder, how did we end up in a situation where it's often cheaper to just buy a new item than fix the old?

What can individuals, communities, countries and organizations do to encourage people to repair rather than replace with a new?
