Making repair affordable: How to tackle the price of spare parts
Join our webinar on how the EU can lower the cost of spare parts for electronics, hosted by ECOS with the Right to Repair Europe coalition.
Expensive spare parts can be a barrier to repair, but there’s a solution: horizontal ecodesign measures under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). Rules that apply to multiple products with common features will save time, slash e-waste, and give consumers better products. Find out how to make this happen!
Speakers will join from ECOS, the Right to Repair Europe coalition, the European Commission, and industry.
