Repair plays a crucial role in building a circular economy for electronics. Modular design allows for the swapping out of malfunctioning parts, extending the life of the device. Manufacturers like Fairphone are leading the way in producing repairable and upgradeable smartphones. The "Right to repair" movement advocates for access to affordable and convenient repairs, including software upgrades. Governments are implementing regulations to encourage repairability and transparency, while financial initiatives like tax incentives support repair efforts.
