Repair Don’t Replace Campaign
According to the last Circularity Gap Report, to bring human activity back within the safe limits of the planet, we need to reduce global material extraction and consumption by one-third. Consuming recyclable or recycled products isn’t enough anymore. We need to promote strategies that prolong the life of products and keep them in circulation for a longer period of time.
USE LESS, USE LONGER, USE AGAIN AND MAKE CLEAN
At WD-40 Company, we are committed to promoting repair, supporting restoration professionals, and bringing new handymen into the world.
Repair Challenge
The Repair Challenge is a call to action! According to the last Circularity Gap Report, to bring human activity back within the safe limits of the planet, we need to reduce global material extraction and consumption by one-third. Consuming recyclable or recycled products isn’t enough anymore. The Repair Challenge is the perfect opportunity for us to inspire millions of doers, makers, fixers and builders to use our products to extend the lifespan of their tools, worn down equipment, bicycles, cars, or just about anything else, and keep them in circulation for longer.

We collaborate with Repair Café International Foundation, based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, a non-profit organization which provides professional support to local groups around the world wishing to start their own Repair Café. Repair Cafés are free meeting places where doers, makers, and fixers can find tools, materials, and expert volunteers to help them fix and repair clothes, furniture, appliances, toys, bicycles, and more – keeping them in circulation longer and out of landfills. At this moment there are more than 3,000 Repair Cafés in 43 countries around the world. The number of Repair Cafés still grows every day.
