Edinburgh Remakery

Edinburgh Remakery is a social enterprise and one of Scotland’s leading social ITAD organisations, dedicated to reducing e-waste and tackling digital exclusion through repair and reuse. At the heart of its work is a social IT Asset Disposition (sITAD) programme that helps businesses responsibly dispose of surplus/old tech while maximising environmental and social impact. Devices collected through sITAD are securely data-wiped, refurbished where possible, and gifted to people and communities experiencing digital exclusion, with only non-repairable items responsibly recycled.

Alongside sITAD, Edinburgh Remakery delivers a range of impactful programmes, including a Tech Gifting Programme that provides refurbished devices to those most in need, weekly Repair Cafés that empower people to repair and reuse tech and textile items, and creative Community Clubs that offer welcoming spaces to support mental health, wellbeing, and social connection.
Working in partnership with businesses, public bodies, and charities across the UK, Edinburgh Remakery uniquely combines environmental sustainability with social purpose. By extending the life of tech, reducing carbon emissions, and improving access to digital tools, its work not only diverts tonnes of e-waste from landfill but also creates meaningful opportunities for learning, inclusion, and community resilience. Through a people-centred approach to reuse and repair, Edinburgh Remakery delivers lasting positive change for both the planet and the communities it serves.
