Inspiration from Austria: A New Wave of Electronic Repairs

As reported by the BBC, the Austrian government has launched a remarkable initiative to foster the repair of electronic goods. This Repair Bonus voucher scheme subsidizes up to €200 for repairing electronics, a move that significantly encourages sustainable practices over disposals.

While this is happening in Austria, it’s an inspiring model that communities globally, including ours in Cornwall, can learn from. The idea of subsidizing repairs to extend the life of electronics aligns with our principles at Tregony Repair Cafe. It’s a testament to the power of community and sustainable practices in action.
