Life-EPICS Repair Corners: The Repair Revolution Arrives in Europe

We are excited to announce that, before the end of this year, 11 new Repair & ReLife Corners will open their doors in Euronics stores across six European countries: Germany, France, Spain, Latvia, and Estonia. These spaces are designed to make repair and reuse the new normal for electronic devices and home appliances.

What are Life-EPICS Repair Corners?

Repair Corners are dedicated areas within Euronics stores where customers can bring their electronic products and appliances for professional repair. The goal is simple: to extend the life of products, reduce electronic waste, and make it easier for everyone to choose repair over replacement.

Each Repair Corner will be staffed by experienced technicians and equipped to handle a wide variety of repairs. Whether it’s a smartphone, a coffee machine, or a washing machine, our teams are ready to help you get your devices back in action.

Why are we opening Repair Corners?

Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. By making repair services more accessible, we want to empower consumers to make sustainable choices and contribute to a circular economy. Repairing instead of replacing not only saves money, but also helps protect the environment by reducing the demand for new resources and minimizing waste.

Where and when will the Repair Corners open?

By the end of this year, 11 Repair Corners will be operational in key locations across Europe. Some of the first cities to host these spaces include La Garde and Noyelles Godault in France; Lauterbach, Ratingen, and Nordkirchen in Germany; Tallinn and Tartu in Estonia; Riga in Latvia; Lanzarote and La Coruña in Spain, among others. Each location has been chosen for its accessibility and potential to inspire a culture of repair in the local community.

Some corners are already operating and will soon be fully branded with the LIFE-EPICS and EU visual identity. Others are set to open in the coming months, with local launch events and special activities to celebrate the arrival of repair culture in your community.

What can you expect when you visit a Repair Corner?

• Expert repair services for a wide range of electronic devices and appliances.

• Personalized advice on how to care for your products and extend their lifespan.

• Information and resources about sustainability, circular economy, and the environmental impact of electronics.

• A welcoming space where repair is easy, accessible, and affordable.

Our commitment

With the opening of these Repair Corners, LIFE-EPICS and its partners are taking a concrete step towards a more sustainable future. We believe that repair should be the first option for everyone, and we are committed to making it as simple and attractive as possible.
