The coming months can be a real breakthrough for consumer electronics and household appliances. In 2026, EU associate States will implement government on repair, ecodesign regulation and sustainability reporting. The fresh regulations are intended to make the service of products a standard, and the business models of manufacturers will meet the rules of circular economy. According to UN data, Europe has a very serious problem with electro-waste. Not only does it produce the most of them in the planet (up to 17.6 kg per capita in 2024!), it is inactive the amount of e-waste that increases as much as 5 times faster than the recycling capacity. The solution is simply a package of EU regulations consisting of the Directive on the Right to Repair (R2R), The Ecodesign Regulation for Sustainable Products (ESPR) and the Sustainable improvement Reporting Directive (CSRD).
