‘Make Do and Mend’: Why We Should Be Applying This to Our Electronics

12/4/2018

​​You may have heard the phrase ‘Make Do and Mend’ but did you know its origin?
 ‘Make Do and Mend’ was a pamphlet released by the British Ministry of Information during WW11. It was an indispensable guide for households, providing housewives with tips on how to be frugal during times of extreme rationing.
 
It provided thrifty, yet creative design ideas for reusing and repairing old clothing, for instance; how to create ‘decorative patches’ to cover holes in old clothes, or unpick old jumpers to re-knit into new clothing.
 
Why Make Do and Mend is still applicable today....
​Make do and mend is a phrase often overlooked in this day and age, as modern society is fuelled by consumerism and materialism. This is great for the economy, but not so much the environment (and our wallets), which suffer from this ‘throw away’ lifestyle.
​At Precision Camera Repairs, our motto is make do and mend. If your camera breaks, you can not only save time and money by having it repaired, but also do your bit to help the environment by reusing, reducing and recycling.

Most cameras can be easily repaired, meaning there is no need to throw them away and buy new ones - a modern trend, which both costs more and adds to our e-waste problem.

Here are five key e-waste stats you may not know: 
  • 20 to 50 million metric tons of e-waste are disposed of worldwide every year
  • 70% of our overall toxic waste is E-waste
  • A large number of "e-waste" is not waste at all, but rather whole electronic equipment or parts that are readily marketable for reuse or recycling. 
  • Only 12.5% of e-waste is currently recycled.
  1. 85% of our e-waste is sent to landfills and burned, releasing harmful toxins into the air
