tl;dr: New EU "right to repair" rules now require manufacturers to repair technically repairable products—like phones, tablets, washing machines, and vacuums—even after the guarantee period, at a reasonable price and timeframe. Manufacturers must also provide accessible repair information and spare parts, while member states set up national repair platforms (RepairMyStuff.ie in Ireland). The Commission estimates the rules will generate €4.8 billion in growth and reduce the 35 million tonnes of waste from prematurely discarded goods annually.
