re:Mix blender

re:Mix is a sustainable and modular kitchen blender developed by the German startup Open Funk. Designed with a strong focus on circular economy principles, the product's primary innovation is its compatibility with standard 82mm twist-off glass jars commonly found in European households (such as those used for pickles or jam), effectively eliminating the need for specialized plastic blending containers.

The manufacturing process is localized in Berlin, Germany. Open Funk assembles the mixers in their own workshop, often collaborating with social enterprises that provide professional inclusion for people with disabilities. Many of the device's internal components and the blender head are manufactured using 3D printing (bio-based PLA) in Berlin, while the outer panels are created from 100% recycled plastic panels—sourced from recycled waste like milk bottles and cosmetic containers—partially processed in France before being CNC-milled in Germany.

Open Funk operates on an open-source model, providing CAD files and assembly documentation publicly to encourage local repair and regional production variations. The brand is independently owned by its original founders and is headquartered in Berlin, maintaining a business model that includes a buy-back and refurbishment scheme to ensure products remain in use indefinitely.
