Restart in your company
Our corporate events offer
The Restart Project responds to the throwaway, consumerist model of electronics that we’ve been sold, and the growing mountain of e-waste that it leaves behind. We give people a hands-on way of making a difference, and a place to talk about the wider issue of what kind of products we want.
We believe companies can play a major role in promoting change. But we only work with companies under the following circumstances:
• Event(s) must be part of a wider initiative within client’s organisation to promote repair / sustainability / environmental education
• In most cases, event(s) must be online or in London
Talk: Right to RepairA talk from a member of the Restart team about why repair is important, why we need a legal Right to Repair, what we can all do to make it happen and why it matters for your company too. Can be online or offline.

Workshop: Restart PartyRun a Restart Party where staff bring their own broken electrical items and sit with one of our Repairers to try and fix it together. We set up a Restart Party in a space at your offices. Staff can pre-book 45min slots to come along with their broken electrical item and sit with a repairer. An important part of the experience is that they work together with one of our Restarters to learn more about their devices, take them apart and repair them collaboratively. In case of larger groups, the client can opt to have multiple people work on a device: the owner of the product, assisted and/or witnessed by colleagues joining the repair session. These sessions generally last 2-4hrs with 3-4 fixers and a host.
