Webinar – Focus Repairability: Navigating the new EU Right to Repair Directive
Register now for our webinar and get ready for the Right to Repair Directive!
Every year, 35 million tonnes of waste accumulate in Europe from the disposal of defective appliances. For a more efficient circular economy, consumers need products that are easier to repair and therefore usable for longer.
The EU's Directive on common rules promoting the repair of goods, often called the Right to Repair Directive aims to encourage consumers to use goods for longer through standardized and transparent repair options, thereby preventing premature disposal. Responsibility lies with manufacturers, distributors and importers placing products on the EU market.
The directive will apply from 31 July 2026. It will initially cover a wide range of product groups and consumer contracts, while additional obligations will interact with existing and new EU Ecodesign rules. National implementation may also affect B2B relationships, especially where repairability becomes part of the customary quality of products.
Are you aware of your responsibilities? And are your products and organisation already meeting upcoming legal and normative requirements on repairability?
Get ready for the consumers’ right to repair with our compact and insightful webinar. Our well-versed experts will provide you with comprehensive information about the legal framework and your resulting obligations. In addition, you will learn about helpful tools for assessing product repairability and product examples. You will also have the opportunity to ask the experts your questions in a Q&A session.
