3. New product categories & recategorisation 
Finally, we’re also adding new impact calculations for 10 product categories, 7 of which are completely new to Restarters. They are:
| New Powered Categories | New Unpowered categories |
|---|---|
Coffee maker 
|
Bicycle* 
|
Games console 
|
Clothing/textile* 
|
Iron  
|
Furniture* 
|
Sewing machine 
|
Hand tool 
|
Watch/clock 
|
Jewellery 
|
* these 3 categories already exist, but we are adding CO2e calculations for the first time
These new categories should help you more accurately record the items seen at your events in future and you’ll get more accurate environmental impact estimates.
We chose these based on how often these types of items are brought to events according to the data we’ve all recorded in the Fixometer (remember MiscCat, where we looked through ‘misc’ items and re-categorised them?).
That obviously means there are quite a few of these items already in the Fixometer, currently in the ‘misc’ category. So, as part of this update, we will also be putting these items into their new, correct categories; relabelling every coffee maker from ‘misc’ to ‘coffee maker’, for example. As a result, any of your items that are recategorised will be given new environmental impact estimates, which will affect your overall stats.
