EU Right to Repair

The EU Right to Repair is a regulation that gives consumers and technicians the ability to fix and maintain electronic products, like smartphones and appliances, more easily. It requires manufacturers to provide access to spare parts, repair information, and tools for a certain period after purchase. This aims to reduce electronic waste, lower repair costs, and promote sustainable consumption by encouraging longer device lifespans. Essentially, it empowers people to repair their devices instead of replacing them, supporting both consumer rights and environmental sustainability within the European Union.
