The last countries to be added to the Repair Caf\u00e9 world map were Chile and Japan. And if it\u2019s up to the initiator in Egypt, repairs will be taking place in the name of Repair Caf\u00e9 in nineteen countries.<\/p>\n<p>With the increase of Repair Caf\u00e9s, the number of volunteers making repairs and the number of visitors are also growing. If the volunteers at <em>one<\/em> Repair Caf\u00e9, repair eighteen products a month, then the Repair Caf\u00e9s all over the world will be stopping 13,500 products landing on the rubbish heap each month.<\/p>\n<p>That, of course, is great, but many products are not actually made for repair. The Repair Caf\u00e9 Foundation wants this to change. That is why the foundation is committed to attaining sustainable and repairable goods at a European level. Recently, at a conference in Brussels, Repair Caf\u00e9 creator Martine Postma spoke about the measures that need to be taken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>National Repair Caf\u00e9 Day<\/strong><br \/>\nOn 30 May, the annual National Repair Caf\u00e9 Day was held in the Netherlands. More than a hundred Repair Caf\u00e9 volunteers got together to share their experiences and to inspire one another.<\/p>\n<p>Topics included the reparability of goods, the possibilities of 3D printing, the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts of a safe working environment and the organising of Repair Caf\u00e9s for and with weaker groups.<\/p>\n<p>During the national day, volunteers also shared success stories. One man just listened. When he was asked if he also had something he wanted to share about the Repair Caf\u00e9, he said: \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to name a single thing. Everything runs smoothly at our Caf\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five years ago there was one Repair Caf\u00e9 in Amsterdam.
