" We are people, we are repairers, we are sustainability activists, we are community."
Based in Brussels, the Right To Repair Europe coalition represents over 100 organisations from 21 European countries. They include environmental NGOs and repair players such as community repair groups (like Repair cafés), social economy players, spare parts distributors, repair and reconditioning companies, as well as any citizen wishing to defend their right to repair.
Repair Together has been a member of the coalition since its inception.
The RESSOURCES federation represents social and circular enterprises in the goods and materials re-use sector. It defends the interests of its members and supports them in creating economic, social and environmental value.

The Restart Project is a social enterprise that aims to repair our relationship with electronics. It regularly organises Restart Parties where people teach each other how to repair their devices. Founded in 2013 and based in London, its message is universal and its motto is: Don't despair, just repair!
The Restart Project and Repair Together collaborate on a number of projects related to repair and the right to repair via the Right To Repair Europe coalition and the Open Repair Alliance, including the collection of data on the Restarters platform, used by Repair Cafés. In 2022, we helped organise FIXFEST International in Brussels.
The ULB FabLab is open to everyone and its aim is to promote new uses within the university.

Repair Together's Repair Lab is located in the FabLab.
The Steam Lab is the educational unit dedicated to disseminating science and digital tools! They invite students to push open the door of the ULB digital fabrication laboratory to take part in immersive projects and discover today's technological tools.

ECOS is the world's only environmental organisation specialising in standardisation. An international network of members sharing a vision of a clean and healthy environment where people live with respect for the planet and its natural resources, preserving them for future generations.
Repair Together and ECOS share a common vision and common objectives, linked, among others, within the Right To Repair Europe coalition, which campaigns for the universal right to repair.
The Recyclerie sociale de St Gilles is a social economy enterprise that collects, sorts and repairs any furniture or decorative items that people want to get rid of. The refurbished items are then sold in their shop. The Recyclerie sociale is an initiative of the municipality of Saint-Gilles and GroupeOne, funded by the Brussels Region. Repair Together is acting as a support partner for the project.
Repair & Share is an initiative of de Transformisten, an association in Flanders that aims to inspire and encourage citizens to adopt a simple and sustainable lifestyle.
Repair & Share promotes the transition to a socially inclusive circular economy by ensuring that consumer goods remain in use for as long as possible and are shared as much as possible. To achieve this, the association supports and federates initiatives that work in this direction, such as Repair Cafés and equipment sharing and lending services. The association also campaigns for the Right to Repair by lobbying producers and governments.
CF2D is committed to innovation in the creation of activities and new jobs, and to making the most of resources to promote socio-economic solidarity. CF2D and Repair Together are members of RESSOURCES. They have been working together on a regular basis since 2013. On the one hand, they recover and recycle irreparable objects that pass through Repair Cafés. Secondly, for events and projects linked to repair and reuse. And finally, for their need for reconditioned IT equipment.

Give a Day is a platform dedicated to volunteering, bringing together volunteers and organisations. Repair Together uses this platform to offer people looking for volunteer work the opportunity to take part in the Repair Café nearest to their home in Brussels and Wallonia.
Looping is a free application designed to help people find out what to do with their end-of-life items! Should they be recycled, composted, taken to a recycling park, repaired? It's not always easy to know! One step closer to zero waste.
