Repair, Don’t Replace Challenge
The Repair, Don’t Replace 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, Don’t Replace 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.
This is a story about people giving a new life to the things they love, reducing waste generation, preserving valuable resources, and leaving a positive lasting handprint on the world.
Our planet needs fewer buying minds and more repairing hands.”
Win prizes, reduce waste, preserve resources, expand your handprint.

Our Collaborations
We collaborate with Repair Café International, a pioneering nonprofit organization in this movement with a presence in over 37 countries. A Repair Café is a free meeting place where you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. With the help of expert volunteers, you can make repairs to electrical tools, bikes, furniture, appliances, toys, and just about anything else. WD-40 Company products are currently present at ~400 Repair Cafes in the Netherlands where volunteers can use our products when making repairs and can request a free 3.4 oz (100ml) can of WD-40 Specialist®.
Spareka is the leading repair platform in France. Its mission is the empowerment of people to do their own repairs and the education of future generations about repair issues.
With more than 1,200,000 electrical appliances repaired and 46,800 tonnes of CO2 avoided, Spareka offers everything from diagnostic services and video tutorials to the sale of spare parts (8 million spare parts sold since 2012).
