The beginning of Repair Kopitiam
It all began in 2014 when Farah Sanwari, the executive director of Sustainable Living Lab then, wondered what it meant to be sustainable. After deliberating, consumption and waste were major issue SL2 wanted to approach and came to the conclusion that repairing is the solution to reducing waste.
