Repair Cafés voorkomen 350.000 kilo afval

Alle Repair Cafés ter wereld hebben in 2018 gezamenlijk ongeveer 350.000 kilo afval voorkomen. Dat is even veel als het totale gewicht van 58 volwassen Afrikaanse olifanten! Dat staat in het jaarverslag over 2018 van Repair Café International.

Bijna 20.000 repareerbijeenkomsten
Wereldwijd waren vorig jaar 1.653 Repair Café-groepen actief, die gemiddeld een keer per maand bij elkaar komen om spullen te repareren. Tijdens één zo’n bijeenkomst worden gemiddeld achttien voorwerpen met succes gerepareerd.

Alle Repair Cafés samen hielden in 2018 naar schatting 19.836 bijeenkomsten, met als geschat resultaat ruim 350.000 gerepareerde producten. Repair Café International neemt voor het gemak aan dat een gemiddeld voorwerp een kilo weegt.

CO2-uitstoot van 850 Nederlanders
Repair Café International schat in het jaarverslag ook hoeveel CO2-uitstoot de Repair Cafés samen in 2018 hebben voorkomen. Als de rekenmethode van de Britse onderzoeker Steve Privett wordt aangehouden, is in 2018 tot wel 8,5 miljoen kilo CO2 bespaard. Dat staat gelijk aan de jaarlijkse CO2-uitstoot van 850 Nederlanders.
