About our management
Who steers what at Flanders Circular?
We usually replace faulty household appliances immediately with a new one. Too bad, because often it can still be repaired. Thanks to VITO's Circufix app, you can now use AI at home to discover what is wrong with your electronic appliance and how to fix it.
Can we fix it? Yes, we can!
Every year, millions of electronic devices end up on the scrap heap, when a lot of them could easily still have a second life. 4 employees of VITO - an organisation working on cleantech and sustainable development - wanted to do something about it. They developed Circufix, an app that uses AI to help you (get) your device repaired. The app fits in with the EU's ‘Right to repair’ rules.
Repairs more accessible and sustainable
Circufix uses AI. It finds out what is wrong with your device. Based on the diagnosis and an environmental impact calculation, the app suggests an appropriate solution. Can and do you want to do it yourself? Then Circufix will give you the necessary repair instructions for your specific device and problem. Do you have 2 left hands? Then Circufix will show you where to find local repairmen. In short, Circufix makes repairs more accessible and sustainable.
You can already get started with the demo version at circufix.eu.
