2025 has been another year of record-busting repair around the world!
Groups logged the most repairs in the UK, Netherlands and Belgium but its been a massive year for everyone with our biggest Repair Day yet.

📈 WEEE is one of the fastest growing waste streams within the EU today, increasing by around 20% each year.
🪨🪙 Reuse of WEEE is essential as many of these products contain critical raw materials and other metals that will be sought after to fuel the transition towards renewable energy
