Your phone breaks. Your washing machine gives up. Somehow, buying new seems cheaper than repairing.
The EU is making the Right to Repair the new standard in Europe.
✅Repairs must be offered even after your warranty ends
🔧Parts must be available after the model is no longer sold
📅Choose repair under warranty and get an extra year of legal coverage
📍An EU platform will help you find local repair shops and fair prices
Less waste, more repairs. Good for your wallet, even better for the planet.
That seems hard to enforce, and most of the small repair shops that did exist 10+ years back have closed now for various reasons.
It depends. I see quite a few around, not the same situation everywhere.
