Right to Repair Gains Momentum
The right to repair movement stands for peoples’ right to fix and modify their own products. There are many benefits to repairing items instead of replacing them. It saves energy, resources and money and, on top of that, it reduces waste. On top, there are few chores more satisfying than restoring broken things to their original working state. Legislative bodies all over Europe are working on regulations to improve repairability. The most powerful of these is a resolution adopted by the European Parliament for a comprehensive approach to ensure the right to repair. It proposes a long list of measures ranging from extending warranties to mandating the availability of replacement parts.
