Fix it: Make repairing affordable again!

We want devices that are easy and cheap to repair. Europe needs to step in.

Companies have made repairing devices difficult and expensive. And we, the consumers, pay the price. Why is it cheaper to buy a new phone than to replace a cracked screen? Why can’t we just change the battery instead of buying a new tablet?

This has to change. Repairing should be the easiest and cheapest option. A win for your wallet, a win for the environment!

A need a clear repair score for devices: EU citizens need to know how much repairs will cost!

Join us in asking the lawmakers at the European Commission to include it after all!
