If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking “it’s time I replace __, this one is (insert not that old)” - it’s not you, it’s a cute little business strategy called
✨planned obsolescence✨🫠
where our products are produced with the intention of a shorter lifespan so we keep buying more & more
So in the spirit of buying less and using what we already have, we are hosting a repairing event!
JULY 31st from 5-7pm
📍 @86plasticco (5075 Livernois Rd., Troy)
🪡 have a rip, missing a button, or need some pants hemmed? before you throw out or donate your clothes mend them
🔪✂️ knives, scissors, garden tools, & mower blades last longer & are more effective when they are properly sharpened - bring them by to get sharpened on the spot! 🩶
🪵 quality wooden cutting boards can last forever if taken care of (➕ no micro plastics!!) drop off your broken or worn boards and utensils and give them some new life! 🤎
