While most of us throw something away if it's broken a new type of cafe is trying to stop that.

Repair cafes are popping up all over the world and allow people to bring their broken item to the cafe to get them fixed and learn how to fix it for next time.

Founder of Repair Cafes Martine Postma told Kate Hawkesby the cafes help reduce waste. 

"I thought it up nine years ago because I thought it's a shame people throw away broken items so quickly whereas in many cases it's possible to repair them but people just don't know how to do that any more."
