As the cost of living soars 'repair cafes' are growing in popularity.
However, certain home electrical products are easier to fix than others.
Mirroring similar European Union legislation that applies to Northern Ireland, they legally require manufacturers of electrical goods to start making spare parts available to buy. There are however, exemptions, for smartphones and laptops. "Everyone should have access to repair, and it should be the first option when something breaks rather than giving up and clicking on next-day delivery for something new."
Josephine Philips founded London-based Sojo in 2021, fresh out of university. "I was thinking if circular, slow fashion is going to be accessible to a younger generation it needs to be modernised and digitised, and so set about creating a solution."Josephine Philips says the Sojo app is particularly popular with younger people who don't want to throw clothes away
"Although there are thousands of repair cafes globally, and they have done a great job, they tend to be quite small compared to the millions of products people are buying. We need to move away from a throwaway culture."
