Repairing Is The New Recycling!

By Aart van Bezooijen - February 27, 2009

in Events

"Stop Recycling, Start Repairing!", says Core's favorite Platform21. After Hacking IKEA (see photos), and a bunch of other great projects, new design activism is coming up! The all new Repair Manifesto touches the joy of fixing things, sharing ingenious repairing tips and tricks in order to oppose to a throwaway culture and to celebrate repair as the new recycling. If you want to support the Platform21 people in making repairing cool again then send your projects to info[at]platform21.com and you might see your project featured at their website or upcoming exhibition. Show opens on March 13, so get inspired, get started.

"Repair is the new recycle" has a nice sound to it.
I've been repairing things since I was a kid, and now I make a living doing it professionally. First bikes, now cars, next?

Cheers,
Andrew
