Plastic is so crucial - in health care, education, and tech for example - so we still need to make things with it. How can we do so with fewer fossil fuels? Covestro is making a new kind of recycled plastic with cooking oils and fats, and it has endless applications.
Orange peel is a common waste product in the global food industry. Designer Alkesh Palmer has made a lampshade made of sewn-together pieces of orange peel. Sweet!
Blast Studio is dedicated to circularity. They recycle coffee cups to make a strong wood-like material that can be cut, drilled, sanded and varnished. It's already being used to make wall panelling, lampshades and furniture. Love that.
Honestly, folks, you inspire us so much.

It's the New Year, happy 2026, hello! What better time than now to make a cake? And look, yes, those decorations there have been squiggled together using FixIts.
So whether it's for New Year's, birthdays, Mother's/Father's Day, or just because, you too can custom-make your own decorations to suit your festivity. Fantastic FixIts.
Don't forget, FixIts is for fun, not just for Christmas. (In fact, we think fixing is always fun!)
So, give it a go. Play to your heart's content. Invent new things. Adapt away. Get boingy and blobby and wiggly too. Take inspiration from some of our own ideas below. The possibilities are endless. There's so much fun to be had.
