RemakerSpace was developed by the PARC Institute and Cardiff Business School to support and promote the transition to circular economy, through advancing knowledge, providing workshops and training and engaging the community and businesses about remanufacturing, repair and product life cycle extension.
It was made possible thanks to two circular economy grants from the Welsh Government amounting to £600,000.
Our aims
The Centre was created to support and promote re-manufacturing and repair to help Wales become a world leader in the transition to a circular economy.
It focuses on addressing the following areas in order to drive fundamental changes to the way we design, consume and dispose of products:
- increasing consumer awareness of the benefits of reuse, repair, and re-manufacturing to extend product life cycles and help create a more sustainable world
- providing businesses with the skills and equipment needed to develop new commercial opportunities based on remanufacturing and repair services
- rethinking the design of products with an emphasis on repair and after-life considerations.
RemakerSpace enables organisations to fully exploit technologies such as additive manufacturing (3D Printing) and innovative solutions for repair, remanufacturing and re-use. It is a not-for-profit facility located in Cardiff University's Innovation Campus (SPARK).
