Right to Repair
Is a coalition of 40 organizations in 15 European countries
pushing for system change around repair.
• 2019 European Commission developed its Green Deal – for
  sustainable future
• 2020 Right to repair movement in Europe to support product repair
• It is the fight against product obsolescence and a call for a product
  labeling for repairability
• Making repair a norm and going against big interests and strong
  industries
• French (EU) repairability index - product suitable for repair index

Digital Product Passport
•   The Circular Economy Action Plan contains a section on planned action
    towards “Designing sustainable products“.
•   As part of this legislative initiative, the Commission will consider
    establishing sustainability principles and other appropriate ways to
    regulate, including reducing carbon and environmental
    footprints and “mobilising the potential of digitalisation of product
    information, including solutions such as digital passports, tagging and
    watermarks”.
•   “Digital technologies can track the journeys of products, components and
    materials and make the resulting data securely accessible. The European data
    space for smart circular applications will support applications and services
    such as product passports, resource mapping and consumer information”.
