Mustafa Zeren urges repair culture in Çorum
Mustafa Zeren, a 68-year-old master craftsman in Çorum, is advocating for a return to repair culture. Operating from the historic Ayakkabıcılar Arastası for 57 years, Zeren specializes in silver repair, jewelry design, and the welding of eyeglasses.
Zeren expressed concern over the growing trend of discarding broken items in favor of purchasing new ones. He argues that prioritizing repairs over replacement can support the Turkish economy and help sustain small local businesses. He also noted that the profession is at risk due to a lack of new apprentices and declining interest in manual craftsmanship.
