Despite what the ads say, there's no need to buy a new laptop today!

77% of a laptop's CO2e impact occurs before it even gets into your hands and 87% of laptops at community events are repairable🪛

Repairing your stuff is not only good for your pocket but the planet too🌎💸

“We’ve loved watching the UK community repair movement thrive in recent years and it’s great to see that this is now happening across the world” – Fiona Dear of the UK-based @RestartProject

«I #RifiutiElettronici sono aumentati globalmente dell’80% negli ultimi dieci anni e continuano a crescere a un ritmo vertiginoso. Non solo, la stragrande maggioranza non viene riciclata correttamente.»

For example, we'll keep pushing for urgent repairability requirements for ALL ICT products, via "horizontal" criteria, and for a ban on the destruction of unsold electronics.

[Right to Repair Europe @R2REurope]

The new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation has the potential to cover nearly all product groups - however we don't yet know to which extent it will address repairability and premature obsolescence: it will depend on secondary legislation we'll be pushing for! 🪛🇪🇺

[The Restart Project @RestartProject]

An impressive amount of people showed up to our webinar to kick off our investigation into reuse and recycling!
⁠
We've written a handy blog post to tell you more about the what and why of the project and how to get stuck in 🔍

We think its time for a student repair revolution... but how are we going to achieve it? We spoke to Restart’s own Pascale and James, and @KerstyHobson from @cardiffuni about the #StudentRepairRevolution project, their learnings and hopes for the future of student initiatives🎓🪛

El derecho a reparar es poder extender la vida de nuestros productos
@R2REurope destaca que los productos deberían durar más y ser reparables por diseño. Reparar no debería ser más caro que comprar nuevo y piezas de recambio e información deberían ser accesibles para cualquiera

[Jose Maria Garcia @josemariagarcia]

@R2REurope @iFixit @ugomatic @Ashoka @RestartProject @HalteOP Gracias a estos “héroes” y su presión sobre legisladores y fabricantes, el derecho a reparar se ha incorporado en la regulación europea y en otras jurisdicciones como California. ¿Es suficiente?

[Jose Maria Garcia @josemariagarcia]

@R2REurope @iFixit @ugomatic @Ashoka @RestartProject Laetitia Vasseur, emprendedora social de @Ashoka fundadora de @HalteOP, movimiento de 70,000 consumidores y 30 compañías, contribuyó a que Francia persiga la obsolescencia programada. Habla de “obsolescencia prematura”, con 3 tipos: técnica, por software, y cultural o psicológica

[Jose Maria Garcia @josemariagarcia]

@R2REurope @iFixit @ugomatic emprendedor social de @Ashoka, fundador de @RestartProject organiza “restart parties” en los que sus asistentes se enseñan a arreglar productos. Con más de 60.000 dispositivos reparados, pide el ecodiseño de productos y limitar upgrades y versiones a los fabricantes

We're still absolutely buzzing from our parliament event and want to give a special thank you to the 11 MPs who signed the #RepairReuseDeclaration on the day!

[ugo vallauri @ugomatic]

Great to be back in the UK Parliament today, pushing for a real and universal #RightToRepair - everyone has had enough of the throwaway economy, let's make it happen!

[The Restart Project @RestartProject]

Today we're proud to be in the UK Parliament demonstrating repair and talking about #RightToRepair with MPs, allies, community repair groups from all over the country
