Celebrating a Decade of Impact

As 2025 draws to a close, ABI Electronics marks ten years of the Repair, Don’t Waste movement. Established to address the growing challenge of electronic obsolescence and unnecessary replacement, Repair, Don’t Waste reflects ABI Electronics’ long-standing commitment to practical, sustainable and commercially viable repair of industrial electronics.

Over the past decade, the movement has evolved alongside our customers, supporting organisations worldwide in developing in house repair capability, improving asset availability and reducing electronic waste.

Partnership Growth and Industry Adoption

A defining strength of Repair, Don’t Waste has been its ability to scale through collaboration. During 2025, ABI Electronics continued to support major organisations in embedding repair led maintenance strategies into their operation.

Collaboration with Alstom

The collaboration with Alstom continues to demonstrate the long-term value of repair driven maintenance strategies. What began as an initiative at a single site has now expanded across multiple global locations. Repair methodologies promoted through Repair, Don’t Waste have contributed to improved turnaround times, enhanced technical capability and stronger alignment with sustainability objectives across Alstom operations.

This partnership illustrates how repair culture can be scaled successfully within complex and safety critical environments.

Collaborations with Collins

During 2025, Collins Aerospace further strengthened its commitment to repair by expanding the use of ABI diagnostic solutions within its maintenance and overhaul activities. By prioritising fault finding and board level repair, Collins Aerospace continues to reduce lifecycle costs while maintaining the highest standards of reliability and compliance.

These partnerships reinforce the role of Repair, Don’t Waste as a practical framework rather than a theoretical concept.

Knowledge Sharing Through Articles and Podcasts

Throughout 2025, Repair, Don’t Waste published a series of articles and podcasts addressing common misconceptions around electronics repair, the environmental impact of replacement culture and the economic case for investing in technical capability.

Topics explored this year included the true cost of electronic waste, how to establish effective in-house repair facilities, and the skills required to future proof maintenance teams. The podcast series has provided a platform for engineers and industry leaders to share real world experiences and challenge outdated assumptions about repair.

This growing library of content continues to support organisations seeking credible guidance grounded in practical experience.

Happy New Year!

As 2025 comes to a close, we look ahead to 2026 with confidence and ambition. A number of exciting updates and announcements are already in development, and we look forward to sharing them in the new year

From everyone at ABI Electronics, we thank our customers, partners and engineers for their continued support of the Repair, Don’t Waste movement. Together, we continue to demonstrate that repair is a practical, responsible and effective approach to industrial electronics maintenance.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a successful New Year.
