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

    This is excellent news, but I really wish this same logic will spill into the recent “stop killing video games” movement as well.

    That whole fight was really about consumer protection as well, not just about video games IMO.

    I want to be able to be easily repair and support products that are past their manufacture supported end of life. This goes for both physical products and digital products!
