A major obstacle to repairing broken goods is that many people lack the skill to repair things themselves and don't consider it worth the effort and cost to get them professionally repaired. Vienna's Repair Network provides resources and assistance to help people to repair their goods and get their goods repaired. They are a network of 23 small repair companies that offer specialised know-how and accessible repair. Furthermore, they offer repair workshops and cafés where people can learn how to repair their own goods, and get access to the tools and the knowledge required to do so. This should not only extend the life of products, but also create more emotional connection between consumer and product.
