Repair a laptop, fix the system.
The Restart Project helps people learn how to repair their broken electronics, and rethink how they consume them in the first place.

Restarters Community
Our platform brings together community repairers, organisers and activists. Together we publicise events, log repairs, measure our environmental impact and talk about all things community repair.
Our insights
We collect data on repair from our community events and we use the data to provide insights into the devices we see.
