Right to repair
They don’t make ‘em like they used to.
Cracked screens, weak batteries, broken charging ports… We’d like to fix them, but instead we end up buying a new smartphone because repairs are too expensive, difficult or impossible.
Reducing the lifespan of a product may drive sales, but this comes at the expense of consumers and the climate.
That’s why we are asking the European Union to give people the Right to Repair their smartphones. Manufacturers like Apple or Samsung should be required to:
- Design smartphones that can be easily disassembled without breaking the device;
- Make spare parts available to all repairers and consumers;
- Provide repair manuals and information on how to fix their phones.
- Commit to long-term security updates to extend the life of their products
Help us put an end to the “throwaway” economy. Sign the petition and demand better products for a better planet.
