Sustainability
A repair company with a difference
At FixMyTek, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a core principle that guides everything we do. Our mission is to repair devices while minimising our environmental footprint and maximising our positive impact on society.
We are deeply committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and have incorporated these into our entire business operation.

Our green commitment
At the heart of FixMyTek is a commitment to sustainability, transparency, and community empowerment. Operating as a carbon-aware service, we recycle electronic parts, plant a tree for every repair, and use sustainable transport options for our on-the-move repairs.
Transparency is embedded in our processes; your device won’t disappear into a black box – we keep you informed at every stage.
Sustainability goals
Producing replacement parts still has an impact on the environment. In Q4 2024 & Q1 2025, FMT aims to ramp up its recycling practices and refurbish the broken parts in-house. We’re collaborating closely with our industry partners on many projects including:
Improve accessibility of refurbished parts
Through our free recycling service, we can strip devices and sell their parts. This makes repairs more accessible, helping give older devices a better chance of extending their lifespan.
Responsibly sourced parts
Improving our control over the exact materials and parts used, down to the exact member of staff working on the device. Part of this diligence includes ensuring fair pay & tight anti-slavery practices for workers involved in creating the parts.
Improving device reuse
Always refurbishing devices where possible. E.g: replacing LCD’s in MacBook top lids, which would otherwise be pulled apart for materials; pulling components directly from existing boards and more. This provides a direct reuse path, instead of relying on recycling.
Battery refurbishing and recalibration
Leading to improvements in battery health of 20-30%. This includes desoldering and resoldering individual cells.
Our community commitment
We strive to be different from the average tech repair company.
We teach the importance of repair, fully embracing the Right to Repair movement and legislation, and truly believe that every single person should have the right to deconstruct, reinvigorate and revive all of the technology that exists in every area of our modern lives. Daily life is becoming more and more reliant on tech, which has been leading to a spike in a destructive throwaway-culture.
We believe in our young staff and know that contributing to their future will contribute to our planet’s future.
Our care and belief has been recognised by our customers and communities. We are trusted and endorsed by multiple universities (UoB, UWE, Southampton) and multiple local businesses in a range of sectors. We have thrown ourselves into working with universities on social, sustainable and educational projects. By working with us, you can help fund and support these social programs too.
Partnership with Greenspark
We’ve partnered with Greenspark to plant a tree for every repair we undertake.
This initiative helps to restore forests, create habitats for wildlife, and support local communities. Additionally, Greenspark’s efforts in carbon offsetting ensure that the environmental footprint of our operations is minimised.
You can see the impact we’ve made below, or by visiting our impact page on Greenspark.
Some of the projects we’re currently contributing to through Greenspark include:
- Restoring trees in Oregon
- Restoring Kelp in Sunshine Coast
- Finding a better use for plastic waste with Plastic Bank
- Restoring the Mangrove Forests in Kenya
- Improving Cook Stoves in Malawi (UN Project 9933)
- Supporting Communities through Wind Power (UN Project 7980)
