Right to Repair European Union

The Right to Repair in the European Union grants consumers and independent repairers access to the parts, tools, and repair information needed to fix electronic devices like smartphones and computers. This initiative aims to reduce electronic waste, promote sustainability, and empower individuals to maintain and prolong the life of their devices. EU regulations now require manufacturers to ensure repairability, including providing spare parts for a certain period and making repair guides available. Overall, it fosters more environmentally friendly consumption by making repairs easier, more affordable, and accessible outside of official manufacturer services.
