Keep materials in use.
A working device keeps the materials and effort already invested in it useful.
The mission
IT’S NOT OLD.
IT’S NOT OVER.
We want to prevent premature electronic waste by making repair a practical, economically attractive choice.
See how repair incentives workChange the decision
THE DEVICE YOU HAVE
STILL HAS VALUE.
Useful technology gets replaced for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes a single component fails. Sometimes a repair quote arrives and the owner thinks, “For that much, should I just get something new?”
That decision is where Keep Tech Alive begins. Our proposed repair incentive helps close the economic gap that can send a repairable computer out of service before its time.
The environmental purpose is central. Eligibility is intended to focus on the device, the repair, and expected continued use. Household income is not the proposed primary criterion.
A repair incentive. A longer useful life.
The owner contributes toward an approved repair. The program may fund a reasonable gap. The independent provider receives the agreed repair price. The computer gets another chapter.
What we believe
A BROKEN SCREEN ISN’T A DEATH SENTENCE.
A WORN BATTERY ISN’T THE END.
ONE FAILED PART DOESN’T MAKE THE WHOLE COMPUTER TRASH.
WE MADE REPLACEMENT EASY.
LET’S MAKE REPAIR EASIER.
REPAIR MORE.
REPLACE LESS.
KEEP TECH ALIVE.
What a longer life makes possible
LESS PREMATURE WASTE.
MORE EVERYDAY VALUE.
Extend the useful years.
Fix the part that failed. Give the rest of the device a chance to keep going.
Support skilled repair.
Good diagnosis and careful workmanship deserve fair compensation.
Change the default.
Make repair a normal first question when technology stops working as it should.
Repair is not always the right answer. Safety, continued software support, parts availability, and expected useful life belong in every evaluation. We will report measured program outcomes as the pilot develops.
