Restart exists to move the world away from our throwaway economy - making electronics work for people, for the planet, and for longer. We believe that every product should be repairable, and that repair and reuse should be accessible and affordable for everyone.

The products we use every day drive the triple planetary crises of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. Extracting the resources needed to make our products is part of an industry responsible for over 55% of all greenhouse gas emissions globally. Yet despite their hidden impacts, products are discarded too quickly, creating mountains of waste. The UK continues to be the second highest generator of e-waste per capita according to the 2024 E-waste monitor.
