The Restart Project helps people learn how to repair their broken electronics, and rethink how they consume them in the first place.
Find out more about usYou’re invited to a Restart Party!
Come to one of our free community repair events, where our volunteer fixers will help you learn how to repair your broken or slow devices - and tackle the growing mountain of e-waste.
Every fortnight, we produce a podcast about rescuing and repairing the electronics we use everyday.
Listen here, or tune in live the second Tuesday of the month at 5pm on London’s Resonance FM.
Together with our growing network, we collect and share data on the things we repair, and use it to help us demand better, more sustainable products.

Our web app allows members of the repair community to log their fixes and to learn about the social and environmental impact of their work.
We collect data on repair from our community events and we use the data to provide insights into the devices we see.
We’re sparking repair activity in schools around the world.
Our hands-on programme helps secondary schools build repair into their curriculum, to create a new generation of fixers.
Read about our first programme at Archer Academy, in London.
Restart is a people-powered project. Here's what we're up to:
After months of campaigning for the Right to repair, we welcome the historic precedent set out by new ecodesign regulations, despite some disappointments the repair movement will have to focus on in future.
We joined forces with Brussels-based partners to organise a flashmob to ask EU member states to stand for our right to repair our appliances and prevent unnecessary waste. Final votes on repairability criteria for dishwashers and washing machines can set crucial precedents.
