These clever repair sticks can help extend the life of lots of things you might own.

Often, when you crack or lose a part for an item, especially one made of plastic, they're really difficult to repair. By using FixIts sticks, you can mould the repair parts you need for the job.

FixIts sticks are made of a bioplastic that softens when in contact with heat. To use your stick:

• Dip it in boiling water for 1 minute
• Pinch off what you need.
• Use it for fixing anything from a crack to a bare cable.
• Let it harden into place.

They're endlessly reusable too. The repair sticks are non toxic and compostable to EU14995 standard - that means they're industrially compostable, though they would eventually break down in home compost over a longer stretch of time.

Each individual stick measures 150 x 16 x 3.5 mm and is a useful tool to keep in your repair box for when you might need it.
