Repair Cafe Odense stats for 2022
If you’ve found this post by way of social media, you already know the exciting news 😉
Let’s hear it directly from Repair Cafe Odense foreman Alain Kovacs:
“I would like to start by thanking all of you who have been a part of RCO this year, a year that surpassed my expectations.
This year was the best one in RCO’s history, more than double in comparison to 2021. Our volunteers deserve a lot of praise, and we’ve been lucky that many new volunteers have joined us this year.
In 2022, we saw items weighing a total of 266.8 kilograms. Of those we fixed 224.5 kilograms of items! This means that our success rate was an amazing 81%! All in all, people brought at least 97 items for repairs!
For comparison, we fixed 103.5 kilograms of items during all of 2021.”
For the skimmers, that’s:
💼 97+ items seen
⚖ Weighing 266.8 kilograms
✅ With 81% fixed
That’s more than double our 2021 numbers!
It’s wonderful to see people seeking ways to repair their useful items, including electronics, bikes, and clothes, rather than throwing them away.
We think this represents a fantastic trend that reduces consumption, creates community, and helps the environment!
Every item saved from the landfill counts ❤
