       We’ve done the research and we know that a phone’s biggest environmental impact comes from making it in the first place. So, it makes sense that the longer you keep your phone, the more CO2 you avoid.🌍 Repair, not replace! Kudos to the @EU_Commission@twitter.com 👏 https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/1/23332407/european-commission-smartphone-repairability-spare-parts-energy-labels-proposals

       "@EU_Commission is seeking to improve phone and tablet battery life and spare parts availability. [..] European regulators are planning to force phone manufacturers to supply at least 15 different parts to professional repairers for five years after a device first goes on sale. Consumers will also get guaranteed access to replacement batteries, displays, chargers, back covers, and even SIM / memory card trays for five years.The draft proposals are designed to improve #repairability of smartphones and tablets and reduce their carbon footprint across Europe. The Financial Times reports that extending #smartphone lifecycles by five years would be roughly the equivalent of removing 5 million cars from the road. The EU argues that forcing manufacturers to make products that are more durable and easier to repair should reduce e-waste, and improve recycling rates and the reuse of materials needed to manufacturer devices."Thanks @Fairphone for beeing a role model and sharing this!#sustainability #greenIT

       @Fairphone I wonder if beside repairability they will also require manufacturers to provide security patches…

       @aligyie @EU_Commission @Fairphone One big difference is Fairphone did this voluntarily. I wouldn't support another brand for doing something the EU forced them to do. Support those who do it by choice.
