In the UK, the Restart Project is holding a Repair Café at the House of Commons on June 11, 2025!
The UK Repair & Reuse 5-point Declaration, says:
- Make repair more affordable, through tax reductions and repair vouchers
- Make repair easier: Expand the UK’s right to repair regulations to cover all consumer products, strengthen design standards and remove barriers to repair for everyone.
- Introduce a repair index to help the public choose more repairable and durable products
- Save reusable products from being wasted: Introduce requirements and targets for reuse and repair to be prioritised over recycling, and provide investment to make this a reality. This should be a key part of amended Extended Producer Responsibility rules.
- Support a new generation of repairers through repair training, accreditation and apprenticeships.
