The European Commission have launched a public consultation on their proposal for a Directive on common rules promoting the repair of goods.
This consultation is open until 22 May.
This initiative promotes a more sustainable use of goods throughout their useful life. It will encourage consumers to make more sustainable choices by providing incentives and tools to use goods for a longer time, including by repairing defective goods.
It will also:
- encourage producers to design goods that last longer and are easily reparable
- help reduce unsustainable consumption and its negative impact on the global environment and climate
- help build a circular economy.
