Right to Repair is gaining momentum in Europe. Recent media coverage might have given to some the wrong idea: that we’ve already won and it’s time to go home. Quite the opposite: while the measures approved are an important precedent, we have a lot more to do starting in 2020.

The European Green Deal is here! But what does it mean for Right to Repair and repairable products? Is recycling still the priority?

The European Commission is currently reviewing options to improve the design of game consoles and printers. We need repairability to be considered.

As part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Disruptive Innovation Festival, we were invited to present the campaign and chat about the state of repair alongside some experts on the topic.

To highlight the importance of repair and to express their admiration and support to all repairers, Belgian organisations transformed the statue of Mercator in Brussels into ‚Mercator the repairer‘.
