REEP: Repair, Reuse and Refurbish Electrical and Electronic Equipment

  • The Challenge

    The societal impact of citizen-driven initiatives aimed at enabling the repair and reuse of electrical and electronic products is currently limited by a lack of access to relevant information and spare components.

  • The Solution

    The REEP team proposes to empower people to repair, reuse and refurbish electrical and electronic equipment by building an online marketplace that uses AI to meet the needs of reuse facilities, repair communities and citizens.
