Telefoanele, așa cum le știm, se schimbă. UE îi obligă pe producători să regândească proiectarea dispozitivelor

The EU is implementing new regulations to promote the repairability and longevity of electronic devices, aiming to reduce electronic waste. This initiative responds to the significant increase in electronic waste, which has nearly doubled globally from 2010 to 2022. The regulations encourage manufacturers to design products that can be easily repaired, addressing issues like the lack of spare parts and high repair costs. New methodologies have been developed to assess repairability, starting with smartphones and tablets, and extending to other devices. The goal is to create a sustainable framework that allows consumers to repair rather than replace devices, ultimately reducing waste and emissions.
