What is Repairably?
Repairably certifies products that are designed for simple and affordable repair. It’s an eco-innovative approach focused on the design, manufacture, and use of long-term customer products in a responsible and sustainable way. As a non-profit organization, Repairably follows strict sustainability and ethical principles. The goal? To create an ecosystem for simple repair, providing a platform where consumers, designers, producers, and repair services connect and collaborate. The Repairably Manifesto, built on 10 core principles, sets the foundation for a universally accepted standard that supports a new generation of products and services aligned with the circular economy. This platform is easily accessible to manufacturers introducing repairable products, small businesses offering repair services, consumers looking to buy and fix products, and governments promoting eco-innovation and sustainable behaviors.
