A Circular Blender Designed to Last, Using Your Own Jars!

At FairVacuum, we believe in building products that last. Products that are simple to repair, designed with longevity in mind, and created to stand against throwaway consumer culture. So when we discovered the re:Mix Blender from Open Funk, we immediately recognized kindred spirits in the fight for a more sustainable, circular future.

A Blender That Actually Lasts

The re:Mix Blender isn’t just another kitchen appliance. It’s a statement against the throwaway culture that dominates home electronics. With its modular, customizable design and focus on durability, it represents everything we believe products should be.

What makes it special? You can use your own glass jars, swap parts easily, and crucially, you can actually fix it when something breaks. As WIRED noted, the re:Mix “tackles throwaway culture by making its blender as simple to fix as if buying new.” No planned obsolescence. No unrepairable design. Just thoughtful engineering that respects both users and the planet.

The re:Mix even won the German Design Award 2025 for Excellent Product Design in the Kitchen category—and it earned a nomination for Circular Design. These aren’t just aesthetic accolades; they’re recognition that this product embodies real environmental and social responsibility.

Modularity, Durability, Longevity: Why We Think Alike

Open Funk’s mission addresses the serious problems embedded in how we manufacture home electronics: electronic waste, CO2 emissions, poor labor conditions, and sprawling supply chains. It’s the exact same challenge that inspired FairVacuum.
When we set out to build a vacuum cleaner designed to last a lifetime, we applied the same circular thinking
  • Durability through quality construction and long-term engineering
  • Repairability with simple, modular components anyone can swap
  • Customization so users aren’t locked into a single configuration
  • Longevity supported by robust warranty and restoration networks
These aren’t afterthoughts. They’re core design decisions that cost more upfront but create exponentially more value over time.

A Movement, Not an Outlier

What excites us about the re:Mix is that it’s not a lonely voice in the wilderness. Open Funk and FairVacuum are part of a growing movement of companies and makers who believe durability is a feature, not a luxury.
The re:Mix’s universal compatibility, you bring your own jars—mirrors FairVacuum’s universal coupling systems. Both products embrace modularity as a core principle. Both reject the idea that home electronics are disposable. Both understand that the most sustainable product is the one that never needs replacing.

Vote With Your Wallet For a Different Future

Whether you’re blending a morning smoothie in a re:Mix or vacuuming your home with a FairVacuum, you’re making the same choice: you’re voting with your wallet for a different future.

Say NO to:

  • Electronics designed to break and be thrown away
  • Supply chains that exploit workers and the environment
  • Planned obsolescence masquerading as innovation

Say YES to:

  • Products built to last a lifetime
  • Designs simple enough to repair yourself
  • Companies that stand behind their work
  • A circular economy that actually works

Breaking a system that generates tons of e-waste

Each modular motor, each swappable component, each repair avoided—these aren’t just individual sustainability wins. They’re part of breaking a system that generates 50+ million tons of e-waste annually while depleting precious resources and energy.

Open Funk and FairVacuum aren’t trying to sell you more stuff. We’re trying to design our way out of needing to. Every product that survives ten, fifteen, twenty years is a victory against throwaway culture.

That’s why we love the re:Mix Blender. It’s not just a beautiful, innovative appliance. It’s a proof of concept that the circular economy isn’t theoretical—it’s happening right now in people’s kitchens and homes.

And if you love it too, consider this an invitation. Look for products designed to last. Support companies that believe in repair over replacement. Choose durability. Choose modularity. Choose a future where home electronics aren’t destined for landfills.

After all, the most sustainable product is the one you never need to replace.
