Big Repair Project

The Big Repair Project is an online UK citizen science project created in collaboration with Prof. Mark Miodownik and the UCL Plastic Waste Innovation Hub (launched January 2022).

In response to new UK Right To Repair law, the study gathers real life data about citizen opinions and behaviours towards the maintenance and repair of home appliances and electronics. Data from the project will be used to help support UK Right To Repair policy development.

This project is one of several research initiatives from the UKRI Interdisciplinary Centre for Circular Metals, a new research centre to help the UK fully recycle and reuse its metals. The centre is led by Brunel University London in partnership with University of Warwick and UCL and forms part of UKRI’s National Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Research initiative (NICER).
