Apparaten verplicht repareerbaar door nieuwe EU-wet
www.nporadio1.nl
Iedere wasmachine, telefoon of televisie die je vanaf morgen in Europa koopt, moet beter repareerbaar zijn. Dan treedt namelijk de Europese Right to Repair Act in werking. Wat dat in de praktijk betekent, bespreken we met Ruth Mugge, hoogleraar Ontwerpen voor duurzaam consumentengedrag aan de TU Delft, en Oscar Visser, CFO van Fairphone.

The products covered by the obligation to repair currently include:

  • washing machines and washer-dryers
  • dishwashers
  • refrigerators
  • electronic displays
  • welding equipment
  • servers and data storage products
  • mobile phones, cordless phones and tablets
  • tumble dryers
  • e-bikes and e-scooters batteries (from 18 February 2027)
  • local space heaters

    Thank you E.U. I hope you have a run of people buying and shipping products all over the world and it pressures everyone else to follow suit.

        No no but Logitech boss is protecting the rest of the world, eh. He’s doing it for you, not for increasing the profits

        How many people are going to open up their own mouse, take out the battery, put in a new one because the battery ran old? […] Mouse switches means you have to open up the whole mouse, and you’re most likely going to break something […] I don’t want to like, sell you a part just for you to screw it up and then be sad about it
