Improving durability and reparability
The plan outlines an EU-wide repair index for phones and tablets, mandatory rules against the planned obsolescence of printers, energy-efficiency requirements for electric vehicle chargers. It strengthens the focus on the circularity aspects of ecodesign and labelling requirements for energy-related products and tyres. It also identifies priorities and new candidates for efficiency product groups and explores new product-specific requirements on material efficiency aspects, particularly on recycled content, critical raw materials, reparability and durability.
