Right to repair: how to make fixing devices easy and cheap
Channel: GreensEFA
Date: 2023-03-22

Did you know that in Paris alone, 55,000 washing machines are thrown away every month?
If devices and appliances were made easy and cheap to repair, it would not be that way.

That's why we want the right to repair!

Today, the European Commission publishes legislation on the right to repair. We are calling for a regulation that makes repairing devices cheap, easy & eco-friendly!
A few weeks ago, our MEPs David Cormand, Sara Matthieu and Malte Gallée visited two repair hubs in Paris: Envie Le Labo and Murfy. They put the ideas of the circular economy into practice by giving devices and appliances a second (and third and fourth!) life and by creating green quality jobs.

It’s time to put the throwaway culture behind us and create a repair economy where fixing your phone is simply more convenient and cheaper than buying a new one!
