  1. Jura - DTAS and values fit. Reciprocal learning and ideas share

  2. Climate Justice If slavery was wiped out - so would ⅓ of Co2 emissions That’s because extractive industries are bad for people and planet. But regenerative industries are good for people and planet Carbon is overpriced - Carbon Bubble Shifting to a low carbon economy is inevitable - the issue is speed and scale to avoid predatory delay.

  4. Flanders - 70% recycling

  5. Eskilstuna Recycling as regeneration ReTuna is owned by Eskilstuna’s energy board, which is run by the city municipality, the Swedish version of a local council. To get the project started, the municipality invested 19.5m Swedish kronor (£1.6m) for building works, also to subsidise rates for the shop owners. In 2018, for the first time, the mall operated without this subsidy. 10% of population are refugees Kevin Roxburgh from Glasgow

  17. Glasgow - City Wide Approach 2017 Glasgow recycling rates: 25% 2025 targets: 70% recycled + 5% maximum to landfill - what does that mean? Moving beyond shops to places with consortia: City Council, Development Agency, Community Group and Anchor Organisations

  18. Other places 65 different communities: Montreal Auckland Belfast Scotland the model for international replication

  19. Last six months Invited by Repair Cafe Glasgow Developing relationships in the city and with Glasgow City Council Thriving ecosystem of social enterprises engaged on this agenda - look to work together Interest from engineering companies, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, development agencies, community sector, housing associations

  20. What are the key criteria for a Remakery? Community: Open to all, affordable and inclusive Financial: 80% traded income to generate jobs Environmental: Working strategically and with rigorous impact measurement. Partnership Working - building on assets in place. Mainstreaming Repair - not creaft activity

  21. What are the ingredients you will need? • Mixed population of 10,000 - we will experiment with others • Retail outlet with footfall • Storage • Budget for manager and technicians • Fee for Remade support

  22. Working together Condense learning of 10 years into 2 years. Stage 1 - Scoping the opportunity Stage 2 - Developing the project Stage 3 - Accrediting to the Network Profit share to grow the Network

  23. IMPACT • 1000 new jobs in Scotland • Repair creates at least 10x as many jobs as recycling (institute for self reliance) • Creating a job in repair costs £15,000 – 10% of the investment needed for a job in energy from waste

  24. Where do we imagine new jobs in Scotland? Hubs - city/town centres 300 Stations - smaller outlets 100 Factories - out of town remanufacturing 400 Academies - training centres 200 And: more in other organisations

  25. Practical fixes and partnerships Move investment from incineration to repair - zero waste Put consumer focused facilities and repair at heart of new developments Work with housing associations, schools, colleges and universities to value and enable practical and vocational skills

  26. WASTE • 33% of all goods that are thrown away are still in working order • 32% of Scottish people say they’ve got a broken / unwanted smartphone at home • 50% of all waste electronics in Ghana are from the UK - 17,765 tonnes • 80% of all waste electronics is sent to ‘developing economies’. • Target to reduce electronic waste by 30% by 2035 • In 2016, the total value of all raw materials in e-waste was estimated at around €55 billion - more than the 2016 GDP of most countries.

  27. Network Focus 2020-2022 Test Remakeries in 4 types of location: City Town Rural Island

  28. Remade Repair Academy Vocational learning Prevent urban flight Build capacity of new industries

  29. What value does the Network seek to provide? Sharing learning and information Access to funding Access to supplies of materials Recognised quality Part of a wider campaign for change Opportunity for consultancy income - each one teach one

  30. ‘More beautiful for having been broken’

  31. From an extractive economy to a regenerative economy A circular economy is a wellbeing economy About the relationships between people as well as stuff Creates a sense of belonging, connection and community My vision - but so many other people’s work together About replacing one story with stories - multiple perspectives.
