RevaluRepair: The Repair Economy: Assessing the economic, environmental, and social impact of community repair of small electrical goods.Tech-Takeback (TTB) currently offers residents of Brighton and Hove a collection system for end-of-life small electricals, via its service "RevaluElectricals". Since its launch in November 2020, the team have collected over 27,000 small electrical items from over 2,200 households, weighing 25 tonnes and saving a potential 2,000 tonnes of carbon if all items are reused. To date 1.1 tonnes of printed circuit boards have been separated for recycling and over 5,463 items have been repaired and redistributed for reuse. Working with The Restart Project (TRP) and supported by The Interdisciplinary Centre for Circular Metals (CCM), hosted by University College London we will undertake a feasibility study to "RevaluRepair".Through this feasibility project we will:* assess the value to the local economy (skills, jobs, revenue) of setting up a high street shop to resell the repaired products,* quantify the CO2 emissions saved due to reduced consumption emissions, and* Assess the social impact to the community of the repair service (skills, jobs, social contact, interaction with schools).* determine the benefits of offering 3D printed parts for repair* create a new multicriteria assessment matrix to determine the viability of repairing items that have been discarded as waste or sent for reuse.To do this we will to employ a repair manager to manage the recruitment of volunteers from the community to undertake the product repairs and sell them to the public. The repair manager will be employed by TTB and will work with the CCM and TRP to deliver the deliver the outputs.

重估修复：修复经济：评估小型电气产品社区维修的经济、环境和社会影响。Tech-Takeback（TTB）目前通过其服务“RevaluElectricals”为布莱顿和霍韦的居民提供报废小型电气产品的收集系统。自2020年11月推出以来，该团队已从超过2，200个家庭收集了超过27，000件小型电器，重达25吨，如果所有物品都被重复使用，则可能节省2，000吨碳。迄今为止，已将1.1吨印刷电路板分离回收，并对5，463件物品进行了维修和重新分配以供再利用。我们将与重启项目（TRP）合作，并得到伦敦大学学院主办的循环金属跨学科中心（CCM）的支持，开展“重新评估维修”的可行性研究。通过这个可行性项目，我们将：* 评估在商业街开设商店转售维修产品对当地经济的价值（技能，就业，收入），* 量化由于减少消费排放而节省的二氧化碳排放，* 评估维修服务对社区的社会影响（技能，就业，社会联系，与学校的互动）。*确定提供3D打印部件进行维修的好处 * 创建一个新的多标准评估矩阵，以确定维修已被丢弃或送去重新使用的物品的可行性。为此，我们将聘请维修经理管理从社区招募志愿者来进行产品维修并向公众出售。维修经理将由TTB雇用，并将与CCM和TRP合作，以交付产出。
