[Online Round Table] The Right to Repair: How Can Europe Deliver on Its Promise?

The new Right to Repair Directive (EU) 2024/1799 marks an important step forward for consumers, sustainability, and the circular economy. But an essential question remains: how will it work in practice?

Join this online round table organised by the REPper Project to explore the challenges and opportunities linked to the implementation of the Right to Repair across Europe.

The discussion will bring together representatives from EU institutions, consumer organisations, industry, and repair advocates to reflect on how Europe can turn the Right to Repair into a practical and effective tool for consumers. The debate will also address the role of future eco-design requirements in supporting repair and extending product lifetimes.

The Right to Repair has the potential to extend product lifetimes, empower consumers, and strengthen Europe’s circular economy. This round table will explore how collaboration between institutions, businesses, and civil society can help turn this promise into reality.
