Why Repair
Repair is a key reuse activity that helps products to last for longer. Community repair prevents waste, saves CO2 and mends hearts.
The Right to Repair is about facilitating repair, ensuring products are designed for repair and supporting repairers of all kinds.
The European Commission adopted repairability requirements on October 1st 2019 affecting TVs, monitors, fridges, freezers, washing machines, washer-dryers, dishwashers and lighting products. These requirements will impact way our products are manufactured and used from 2021 through minimum repairability requirements aimed at extending their lifetime.
