This project will advance core understanding of maintenance and repair practices and connect these to long-standing concerns around the design, innovation, and sustainability of new computational tools and infrastructures. Technology maintenance and repair constitute central elements in the long-term impact and sustainability of computing tools and infrastructures. While there is tremendous need for understanding their effects on engineering development, maintenance and repair have been systematically underrepresented in human-computer research to date. By improving the design-repair nexus, this project seeks not only to study sustainability but also enhance it. Pedagogically, it develops new repair-centered teaching and learning strategies for education in engineering and the social sciences.
RREUSE is an international network representing social enterprises active in re-use, repair and recycling.
The linear ‘take, make, use, and dispose’ economy is driving the climate emergency. Extraction and processing of natural resources make up half of the total global greenhouse gas emissions and over 90% of water stress and biodiversity loss impact, according to the International Resource Panel. Product re-use and repair are the building blocks of circular economy, which can contribute to climate change mitigation by preventing resource depletion, diverting products and materials from landfills and incineration (therefore preventing associated emissions), and reducing energy demand.
One human’s trash is another human’s treasure. eBay Kleinanzeigen can give you more than you can imagine. Nestled among classifieds for furniture, flats, repair services, tantra massages, and baby clothes, you can find four Out of Scale listings. Occupying advert spaces of commerce and exchange, Anna Ehrenstein and Jeanne-Ange Wagne, Elio J Carranza, Nora Al-Badri, and Nazanin Noori offer their perspectives of the networked politics of the city. Find yourself in these distributed networks of revolt, resistance and dissidence.
MARR’s mission is to challenge the perception of waste culture by providing a unique platform for artists at the intersection of art, community, and waste systems. The Moab area is highly impacted by the tourism industry and, as a result, waste management. By facilitating artists’ direct engagement with the waste stream, MARR encourages resident artists to consider their studio practice through the lens of sustainability and to thoughtfully re-assess their processes of material sourcing and waste disposal.
Through a 4-week residency, the program offers artists studio space, project and community facilitation, a stipend, access to materials at local waste disposal sites, and the time and space to focus solely on their art. As a component of each residency, artists spend time providing opportunities for learning, dialog and enrichment within the community.

We design and build products from excess fabrics and waste.
Diese Arbeit zeigt anhand von drei exemplarischen Produkten wie reparierbares Produktdesign aussieht. Zehn Richtlinien klären dabei über notwendige Vorraussetzungen auf und motivieren Nutzende, sich selbst an der Reparatur zu versuchen.
Finding Function In Unexpected Places.
900 trillion tonnes of food is wasted yearly, and so I challenged myself to turn this abundance of “waste” into utility. In this project, the wasted food was reincarnated twice. Firstly, it was given a second life as a bioplastic or a bioleather after a thorough experimentation with recipes. Next, the results were made into a myriad of physical and digital prototypes. Safe to say that one man’s food waste is another man’s treasure.
We are an international collective that develops online educational resources in the field of zero waste design and systems thinking for fashion.
rehub is a lab that aims to give a second chance to waste materials using cutting-edge processes
Our mission is the transition to a collaborative and circular consumption of electronics
Desde el Grupo de Reutilización y Redistribución de Recursos queremos convertir los recursos materiales en desuso (RMD) en oportunidades que proporcionar a las iniciativas de interés público e incentivar a la administración pública a desarrollar buenas prácticas para la gestión eficiente de los recursos. Creemos en la necesidad de construir masa crítica y empoderamiento para la gestión de recursos, en las prácticas cooperativas y colaborativas, en la gestión compartida y en el retorno al común.
We’re a Berlin-based impact and tech startup that aims to accelerate the transformation towards a circular economy. To achieve this, our team digitizes and simplifies circular services and processes with our software platform and partnership options – for electronics and other products.
We believe in a future where our clothes are loved again, live as long as possible and preserve a piece of history - where they are 'passed on' from generation to generation, recycled or even upgraded. We facilitate optimised textile cycles that protect our environment, that encourage a new and sustainable understanding of values, and that give us joy - in the often unexpected ways we can reuse our clothes.
Extending the use and life of our clothing is the best way to reduce the environmental impact of textiles. Our goal is to reach as many people as possible and encourage them to help shape our textile future.
Together we can create a cycle by donating our clothes properly, repairing them and making new from old. In this way, used or unused garments gain new value again and again and can continue their journey - A-GAIN & A-GAIN

Get rid of things dragging you down
Last week, three years of arguing with industry finally paid off, as the European standard EN45554 was published. This official document with an unexciting name details ”general methods for the assessment of the ability to repair, reuse and upgrade energy-related products.” In plain English, it’s a standard for measuring how easy it is to repair stuff. It’s also a huge milestone for the fight for fair repair.
