FixIts is a mouldable bioplastic that has hundreds of applications in the home to fix broken things from fixing toys to laundry baskets. The website is at www.fixits.com<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Reusable eco-plastic mouldable sticks, your everyday essential.<\/p>\n

Heat It, Dunk It, Remove It! It really is as easy as that. Simply dunk your FixIts stick into hot water (60\u00baC+) for around one minute, remove it, pinch off what you need and get fixing.<\/p>\n

Born out of a materials design studio and a passion for repair.<\/p>\n

Sometimes you come across something that changes your approach to your stuff, and that\u2019s exactly what happened when Founder Chris Lefteri brought home what would later become FixIts whilst writing his first book in 2000.<\/p>\n

Very quickly Chris and his wife Alison started using this material to fix things all around their home (especially with two young children). It became very apparent that this could be as ubiquitous within the home as super glue or blutack.<\/p>\n

The idea was workshopped and toyed with over the next decade and a half until former student of Chris\u2019 and now Co-Founder of FixIts, Forrest Radford, joined the project to develop this idea into a consumer product.<\/p>\n

With a joint background in product design from central saint martins, a passion for materials and a shared vision for a product that can repair when tape and glues can\u2019t, FixIts was born.<\/p>\n
