the brand

our idea of circular & sustainable living through mindful use of products is deeply inspired by practices like zen meditation and nature - in our case the vulcanite scenery of the canary islands which serves as a humble reminder of the delicate balance between human actions and the natural world. it’s this balance that guides our mission, urging us to rethink how we consume, repair, and cherish our possessions.

in the spirit of zen, which teaches us the value of mindfulness and simplicity, we strive to foster a deeper connection between our daily lives and the environment. our approach, much like the gentle flow of watercolors on paper - inspired by a local designer - encourages a thoughtful reconsideration of how we interact with the products we use. each decision to repair or reuse is seen not just as an act of conservation, but as a step towards painting a more sustainable future for our planet.

we recognize that the journey towards sustainability is ongoing and that each small, mindful action contributes to a larger change. we invite you to join us in this pursuit, as we explore together how to live more harmoniously with our world.

the origin

let’s shortly travel in time: after the second world war, somewhere in the middle of germany – the grandfather of co-founder & ceo built his own house for his family with his own hands and the simplest means. there can be no talk of excess here – cherishing and caring for things instead of throwing them away is the mindset, as well as keeping everything in good condition as a precaution, repairing or otherwise using it. buying a new one is not an option.

when you grow up with this mindset, you look at products with a different perspective. everything is in abundance these days. often it is simply more convenient to buy something new instead of tormenting yourself through customer service, which is usually too expensive or poorly available.

the idea of fix1 is to reconnect with that mindset – to use products longer and make sure, they get fixed at least once during their lifetime by taking a fix first mindest and taking easy action by starting with one product, today.

the team

in a world of climate emergency, population growth and resource scarcity, we’ll need to use our products smarter than ever before. this is where we fell in love with the idea and potential of circularity and the practicality of repair.

we’re a berlin-based impact and tech startup that aims to accelerate circularity by creating a world where fixing products comes first that keeps 1bn products more in use to save resources, avoid emissions and local help repairers.

our experienced team has set itself the goal of making repair easier, faster more accessible for everyone. to achieve this, we're ending the throw-away world by making repair & circularity >47% easier through enabling others with our ai-powered B2B(2C) platform - manifested in our brand fix1.

create impact

did you know that repair is a climate saver?

45% of all emissions are caused by the production of products. so by 2030, we will therefore produce about 180 gigaton of co2. if we repair every product just once during its life cycle... we can extend the usage time by at least 2 years. this alone will save about 45 gigaton of co2 by 2030. that's almost all global emissions of a year!!!

now we have the chance to change something! are you in?

our principles

clarity

at fix1, we believe in the power of a personal and data-driven reality-check. clarity for us means shedding light on the complexities of climate change and how circular solutions can make a difference. we're committed to demystifying sustainable living, making it accessible and understandable for everyone. through education and transparent communication, we aim to empower our community to make informed decisions that contribute positively to our planet.

respect

respect is woven into the fabric of everything we do at fix1. it's about acknowledging the craftsmanship that goes into each product and advocating for justice in resource consumption and living standards. we strive to honor the materials, energy, and labor invested in creating the products we use daily, promoting a culture that values repair and longevity over disposability. our mission is to foster a deep appreciation for the resources we share, ensuring they're utilized responsibly and respectfully.

harmony

harmony with ourselves and nature is a cornerstone of our philosophy at fix1. we envision a world where human actions and the natural environment exist in balance, supporting and enhancing each other. by embracing practices that align with the rhythms of nature, we can create a lifestyle that nurtures our well-being and the health of our planet. through our services and community initiatives, we're dedicated to cultivating a sense of unity with the environment, encouraging actions that lead to a harmonious existence.

action

action underpins our approach to creating a sustainable future. at fix1, we understand that the impact of our choices and actions is profound. we're not just about ideas; we're about making tangible changes through the products we repair, the practices we adopt, and the movements we inspire. our commitment is to proactive, positive action that addresses the challenges of today and paves the way for a better tomorrow. every repair, every decision to reuse or recycle, is a step towards the sustainable world we strive to achieve.

why climb?

imagine standing at the base of a towering mountain of waste, built over decades of overproduction, overconsumption, and underutilization. this mountain looms over our lives, threatening the environment, the economy, and future generations. but this is not a mountain we must accept - it’s one we can overcome. at fix1, we see this challenge as a call to action, a chance to rethink how we value and care for the things we use every day.

the climb is about more than avoiding trash - it’s about reclaiming time, money, and resources. each repair, each act of reuse, is a step toward a world where waste is no longer inevitable but preventable. fix1 empowers individuals, families, and businesses to take those steps by providing the tools, guidance, and support to make repairing easy, fast, and impactful.

at the peak of the waste hierarchy, we can imagine a better future: one where every product is repaired at least once before being discarded, where resources are cherished, and where waste no longer dominates our landscape. join fix1 and take the first step toward this future today - together, we can leave the mountain of waste behind. let's go!
