Right to Repair legislation is increasingly gaining traction around the world, as customers demand the opportunity to make the most out of their electronic devices. But what is holding up the legal side of the battle? And what is being done in the meantime to extend the life of products?
As of 1st July, new Right to Repair rules in the UK legally require manufacturers to provide spare parts to people buying electrical appliances and to third parties providing repair services.
Right to Repair refers to more than just the ability for consumers to have their products repaired, but also the freedom to use their repairer of choice, rather than being forced to rely on the device manufacturer’s services – something that some of the biggest providers have been fighting tooth and nail against for years.
