Why Repairing is Greener than Replacing
Published on March 3, 2025 by Circuit Surgeons Team
Every year, millions of tons of electronic waste end up in landfills. Many of these devices still have years of use left — but they’re discarded because fixing them seems inconvenient.
Choosing repair instead of replacement has huge environmental benefits:
- Reduces e-waste: Electronics contain plastics and toxic materials that harm ecosystems.
- Saves resources: Manufacturing new devices requires mining metals, using water, and burning fossil fuels.
- Extends device lifespan: A simple part replacement can add years of use.
By repairing your devices, you not only save money — you also make a real impact in protecting the planet.
