REMAKE is a free community-based repair project that holds Repair Parties at universities around the world with a fun, collaborative spirit. We thrive on skill-sharing and collaborative learning to fix technology and our relationship with it!

E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams across the world.

We know the pace of our consumption has real social and environmental costs. And we know people are motivated to do something about it. In this mission, repair is a tool.

Why Repair?

Technology has become essential in our everyday lives. We rely on it to enable us to produce our most creative, innovative and impactful work.

However, our work should not and need not be carried out at the expense of the environment. We have the opportunity to make sure we use technology responsibly, and that includes repairing it.

Technology and sustainability, the perfect match.

Earth needs us to make the best use of the resources we have available. Together, we each can do our little bit, starting with our own community. REMAKE focuses on the mid- to end-stage of consumer electronics’ lifecycle, a small action with strong effects throughout this and partner industries: repairing.

We believe that

Communities represent the centre-stage where the biggest change can occur,

repair is a means to an end, a vehicle for community building, and

an opportunity for our youth to gain agency over the future they want for themselves.

The momentum necessary to create a greener, more sustainable society needs to be driven by people in their communities. REMAKE, like many others, just provides the venue for them.

With the help of our technicians, people can learn how to repair and, in doing so, discover how it can be easy, fun, cheap and a great opportunity to learn more about our technology. As popularly promoted by iFixit, a wiki-based site that teaches people how to fix almost anything

Repair saves you money. It saves the environment. And it connects us to our things.
