Q & A

The aim of this project is to reduce the amount of waste from electrical and electronic goods. Waste from electrical and electronic goods is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the European Union, growing at 3-5% a year. Consumption of electrical and electronic equipment, and therefore the production of waste from electrical and electronic goods, is very high throughout North-West Europe (source: Eurostat 2016, EEE products put on the market).

The novel way to tackle waste from electrical and electronic goods is to encourage the public to make use of local repair cafes and workshops which are increasingly popular on the continent. Here, individuals can access 3D printers and specifications for parts to repair their machines and devices thus taking away the need to replace with a new product and so empowering individuals to ‘citizen repair’.
