The Edinburgh Remakery Details
The Edinburgh Remakery is an environmental social enterprise committed to diverting waste from landfill, building a stronger community, and promoting a culture of repair and reuse. We repair, refurbish and recycle what others send to landfill, and we pass these repair skills onto others within the Edinburgh community through education. We are small but have a wide impact; in the past 3 years we have prevented 106 tonnes of materials from going to landfill and have educated almost 4,000 people in repair and re-use skills. We engage with thousands of individuals each year and seek to work in partnership with organisations across Edinburgh to increase social and environmental impacts. Our free IT Disposal Service for businesses enables us to work with some of the largest organisations across the city to prevent items going to waste. As well as accommodating our retail enterprise, through which we refurbish and sell on second-hand IT equipment, the Remakery is also a community resource. We offer: educational and training opportunities within the circular economy and more; creative workshops across a variety of craft disciplines focused around the theme of sustainable living; and paid apprenticeships for young people. Skill sharing is pivotal to what we do. We teach people how to repair and reuse their belongings rather than throwing them away and buying new, thus achieving environmental impact through landfill diversion and carbon reduction. By empowering communities to repair and reuse, we help improve financial literacy and capabilities, and help people living in adverse circumstances to access free and affordable IT equipment. By providing training and employment opportunities, we are contributing to the creation of green jobs in the circular economy whilst addressing the skills gap and engaging young people, and have piloted opportunities for those furthest from the labour market to equip them with skills for future employment.
