In the past year, Repair Caf\u00e9 repairers around the world have prevented 250,000 kilos of waste. Repair Caf\u00e9 International Foundation presents that estimate in its 2016 annual report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the end of last year, almost 1,200 Repair Caf\u00e9s were active, holding a repair meeting on average once a month. According to the foundation, an average of 18 items are successfully repaired during each meeting. In an entire year, worldwide, that adds up to around 250,000.<\/p>\n

Gigantic Buddha<\/strong>
\n“If we assume that an average item weighs a kilo, then nearly 250,000 kilos of waste has been prevented in the year 2016”, states the annual report. “This is as heavy as the gigantic Tian Tan Buddha, a 34 metre high bronze statue in Hong Kong.”<\/p>\n

In 2016, Repair Caf\u00e9 International Foundation has achieved even more. Curious? Read the annual report<\/a> (in Dutch).\u2003<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
