Background:

Repair Week is designed to inspire us all to ‘think repair’ and either learn how to fix more of our stuff ourselves, or find local repair businesses or community groups who can fix them on our behalf – all in the name of saving money, helping to fight climate change and falling back in love with things we haven’t used for ages. It is run by London Recycles.

Research on repair of electrical and electronic items, conducted in 2024[1] by Imperial College London and published in November by ReLondon, showed that:

Londoners discarded around £1.9 billion worth of repairable items in 2023 alone — that’s an average of over £250 worth of items per adult
Almost half of electricals sent for recycling could be reused and an additional 10% are estimated to only need minor repairs
Only around half of people who have thought about repairing items actually then go ahead with the repair – which means that things like skills, cost, accessibility of repair services and more are getting in the way
