The Edinburgh Remakery is an environmental social enterprise committed to reducing waste by creating a culture of repair and reuse that puts our community first. 

We repair and refurbish what others send to landfill, and we pass these repair skills onto others through our education and training programmes. We are small but have a wide impact; in the past 3 years we have diverted 106 tonnes from landfill and have educated over 4,000 people in repair and reuse skills. 

We engage with thousands of individuals each year and work in partnership with organisations across the UK. We provide corporate services to help businesses reduce their waste and support their communities. Our free Tech Disposal Service allows businesses to pass on end-of-use IT equipment for refurbishment and reuse. A portion of all the reparable devices we receive through this service also go back into helping marginalised and disadvantaged people in our communities through our Tech Gifting Programme, delivering social and environmental impacts.

As well as accommodating our retail enterprise, through which we sell on refurbished electronics and restored furniture, the Remakery is also a community resource. We offer training and employment opportunities within the circular economy to those facing barriers to employment, creating green jobs whilst addressing the skills gap and engaging young people. We run creative workshops across a variety of disciplines around the theme of sustainable living. Our events space can be hired out for team-building and networking events, as well as group activities. Businesses can host their next team away day with us, and introduce their staff to the concepts of sustainability through one of our engaging skill-building workshops. 

Skill sharing is pivotal to what we do. We teach people how to repair, reuse, and remake their belongings rather than throwing them away and buying new - reducing carbon emissions, reducing waste, and reducing pollution.
