What is the Fixy Project and how does it promote repair, reuse, and recycling?
The Fixy Project in Somerset promotes repair, reuse, and recycling through outreach, supporting existing repair groups, and accepting smart tech donations. The project educates and raises awareness about sustainable consumption and engages new audiences through its outreach activities. Fixy also amplifies local repair groups by extending their reach and passing on potential volunteers' details. Additionally, Fixy acts as a mobile tech amnesty point, accepting smart tech donations that are securely wiped and given to Donate IT for refurbishment and distribution to people in need. The project is funded by Material Focus, supporting the Recycle Your Electricals campaign.
