Repair, Don't Waste!
Education
Championing the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of industrial electronics repair over replacement since 2015. 🇬🇧
About us
An award-winning international movement created to emphasize the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of repair over replacement of electronic circuit boards. The modern world runs on electronic systems that are designed to last many years. Tons of natural resources are carved out every day to produce semiconductor chips and other components. These will eventually be mounted on printed circuit boards (PCB) and will effectively become the brain of most pieces of industrial technology. These expensive circuit board assemblies are used in industrial applications to help control our vehicles, production machinery, airplanes, wind turbines, and so on. Typically costing from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, they are ultimately used to manage power, safety systems, monitoring devices, quality checks, and many other functions. Replacing faulty industrial technologies for new ones is wasteful, unnecessary, and aggravates the E-waste issue. According to the United Nations University, more than 50 million tons of E-waste are produced globally every year. It’s past due time for the replace-not-repair mentality to be phased out across the business spectrum. It’s an essential step to eliminating waste, lowering emissions, and saving precious resources. Created in 2015 by ABI Electronics in the UK, the ‘Repair, don’t waste’ movement seeks to draw the attention of business leaders, academia, and the wider society to the benefits of developing the capabilities to repair rather than replace industrial electronic systems. This website was designed to give access to relevant technology and training for repair, share knowledge, and best practices implemented by leading organisations that are reducing waste, costs and creating quality technical jobs across the world.

Sustainable mobility sounds amazing but the amount of E-waste the rail industry produces due to the lack of repair capabilities is truly shocking. The world produces over 60 million tonnes of E-waste per year with rail being a large-scale contributor. Electrification will require even more equipment to be built into trains that should last 30 years but what happens when technology becomes obsolete? People will try to sell the idea that "new equipment saves energy thus we should embrace it" while warehouses are being filled with parts that still have decades of life left in them, shut behind closed doors and branded "biohazardous waste" so people don't go looking! For 40 years, ABI has been a leading repair enabler manufacturing systems that empower technology users to diagnose, repair and recover tonnes of circuit boards that would have been thrown away just because a capacitor or IC failed. Over 65 rail companies have invested in ABI solutions, joined the Repair, Don't Waste! movement and are now saving millions of dollars that would have gone into buying new equipment creating unnecessary emissions and waste. Become independent from OEMs by developing in-house repair capabilities with ABI! Meet our team at InnoTrans 2024 from the 24th to the 27th September in Berlin. Get in touch with our business manager Willian Santos 🇬🇧 to set up a meeting. #RepairDontWaste #ukmfg #InnoTrans2024 #rail #electronics #railway #sustainability #mobility #circulareconomy

I love seeing repair people valued and rewarded by their employers! We received this wonderful update from a repair technician working at a U.S. chip manufacturer yesterday, showing how capable #RepairHeroes can be in producing outstanding results when given the right tools, training, and incentives. This semiconductor company has saved in 2024 alone almost 10x the investment in acquiring the ABI systems and stopped hundreds of kilos of expensive equipment from being wasted. Thank you Fawzy Taha and Dan Evans for the heads up and your continued support to our customers in America. Visit RepairDontWaste.com for more information and to join our movement!

I am super excited to be heading back to Berlin for #InnoTrans2024! Over the last 20 years, ABI electronic troubleshooting and reverse engineering systems have stopped truckloads of railway electronics from being scrapped saving millions for rail operators and OEMs. As digitalisation and electrification become widespread so will the need for electronics which we all know become obsolete far too quickly. Throwing them away just because a capacitor or IC failed is not an option in any Net Zero and ESG-committed business so let's meet up and work to ensure that no longer bins will be filled with circuit boards or damaged equipment hidden from your clients' eyes as "hazardous" waste! 🤦♂️ Drop me a message to schedule a meeting between the 24th and 27th of September at InnoTrans! Case studies: OEM makes braking controller board obsolete before train fleet launches https://lnkd.in/gwYkzZYH Alstom continues to decentralise electronic repairs with 12 locations already using ABI systems https://lnkd.in/e3BcCsDJ #RepairDontWaste #ukmfg #electronics #repair #PCB #sustainability #circulareconomy #NetZero #mobility

Soaring #Ewaste levels in the EV industry call into question the sustainability of its products. Should we be discussing whether these EVs are as green as we think? And is the industry doing enough to push technical colleges and universities to put electronics troubleshooting, repair and reverse engineering into the curriculum? Otherwise, initiatives like Right To Repair or Design for Repair will never take off and E-waste yearly productions will surpass 100 million tonnes globally before the decade is over. Read our latest #RepairDontWaste article on the subject here 👇 https://lnkd.in/e2mntVha Get in touch to discuss how ABI's certified training, hardware and software specifically designed for circuit board diagnostic and repair can help strengthen your business sustainability and ESG credentials. #ukmfg #electronics #repair #PCB #sustainability #circulareconomy #EV #automotive #EVCharger #mobility #electrification #energy

ABI are thrilled to announce the latest member to join our Repair, Don't Waste! movement, Texas Instruments, the globally renowned American-based semiconductor manufacturer! We have joined forces, providing our cutting-edge fault diagnostics solution #BoardMaster to enhance their in-house repair and maintenance capabilities of critical manufacturing equipment. The semiconductor manufacturing business is a fast-paced industry and any downtime in vital production machinery, even for a few hours, can cost thousands in lost revenue, not to mention the sky-high costs of some valuable spare parts, like ATE cards (https://lnkd.in/e6ZxEwwu?), costing upwards of $100,000! Within a single site, there may be thousands of these, and what happens when technology inevitably advances and OEMs stop supporting legacy products? TI can now develop more responsive and future-proofed repair strategies with quick turnarounds, that reduce downtime and mitigate obsolescence. Thanks to the BoardMaster's comprehensive tool kit and intuitive software, the useful life of PCBs can be drastically extended, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in spares and upgrades! Get in touch and schedule a call with one of our specialists to see how 40+ years of innovation in the electronics repair sector can solve your company's repair issues and join over 120 companies worldwide benefitting from the #repairmindset! #RepairDontWaste #Repair #Electronics #ElectronicsRepair #PCB #PCBRepair #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #UKMFG #SemiConductors #SemiConductorManufacturing #TexasInstruments
