DIY repair movements

DIY repair movements are communities and initiatives where individuals take on fixing their own devices, appliances, or objects rather than relying solely on professional services or manufacturers. They emphasize learning skills, using available tools and resources, and advocating for product rights to improve repairability. The movement promotes sustainability by reducing waste, saving money, and encouraging independence. It also challenges restrictions that companies may impose, such as limited access to spare parts or repair manuals. Overall, DIY repair movements empower people to maintain and extend the life of their belongings through accessible, hands-on problem-solving.
