Watch our conference “EU Right to Repair still loading! ⌛️” here
We are people, we are repairers, we are sustainability activists, we are community.
We believe products should last longer, and therefore when broken, they should be repaired. This requires products to be designed for repair as well as support for repairers of all kinds.
We are asking for the right to repair.
Be an early adopter! Join the movement for a universal Right to Repair
We are a coalition of European organisations pushing for system change around repair.
