Good news as EU formally adopts Ecodesign measures:

– As of 2021, all TVs, monitors, fridges, freezers, washing machines, washer-dryers, dishwashers and lighting products placed on the EU market will have to meet minimum repairability requirements aimed at extending their lifetime.
– Manufacturers will have to ensure that appliances can be easily disassembled with commonly available tools.
– Spare parts and repair information will have to be made available to professional repairers for a minimum number of years.
