About Repair Cafés

We are part of the international movement of repair cafes, dedicated to combating waste, sharing skills and bringing communities together 

The first repair café was set up by Martine Postma in Amsterdam in 2009, as a response to the huge amount of stuff that is thrown away every day. The Repair Café Foundation was launched in 2011 to support local groups in the Netherlands and beyond. In 2018, 1,653 repair café groups worldwide held nearly 20,000 meetings, preventing 350,000 kilos of waste.
