Schermi rotti, batterie deboli e connettori di ricarica non funzionanti…Ci piacerebbe aggiustarli, ma ogni volta finiamo per comprare uno smartphone nuovo perché la riparazione costa troppo, é difficile o addirittura impossibile.
Accorciare la vita di un prodotto può far aumentare le vendite, ma ciò avviene a discapito dei consumatori, dei lavoratori e del pianeta.
Per questo stiamo chiedendo all’Unione Europea di darci il diritto a riparare i nostri telefoni e di obbligare multinazionali come Samsung, Huawei e Apple a produrre smartphone che possano essere riparati e a fornire pezzi di ricambio e manuali di riparazione a tutti i riparatori e i consumatori.

We call on you to include smartphones in the forthcoming ecodesign work plan and develop minimum design requirements for smartphones and other ICT products without delay in order to extend their lifetimes in support of Europe’s circular economy and climate objectives.
Smartphones have rapidly become one of Europe’s most wasteful, resource and carbon intensive product groups. The annual climate impact of Europe’s stock of over 600 million smartphones is more than 14 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, more than the annual emissions of Latvia.
Plenty of other reasons exist to regulate smartphone manufacturing, ranging from working conditions along the supply chain to end-of life impacts on soil and water. The current situation leads to European consumers being frustrated with the lifetime of their phones and independent repair actors facing barriers to offer repair services.
That’s why we are asking you to give people the Right to Repair their smartphones. Manufacturers like Samsung, Huawei and Apple should be required to:
• Design smartphones that can be easily disassembled without breaking the device;
• Make affordable spare parts available to all repairers and consumers;
• Provide repair manuals and information on how to fix their phones
• Commit to long-term security updates to extend the life of their products
