The Right to Repair in Brief: 3 Videos for Consumers, Professionals, and Business Centers
By July 2026, EU member states will have to adopt the new “Right to Repair” regulation. This regulation aims to promote the repair of consumer goods, thus extending their useful life and reducing waste. The regulation includes new ecodesign requirements, a ban on the destruction of products sold, and the promotion of used and remanufactured products.
Consummers
As a citizen, you will soon have access to a European form to compare services and an online platform to find local shops. Manufacturers will also be required to provide spare parts at affordable prices. A digital product passport will also be activated.

The digital product passport will provide repairers with key data on repair options, spare parts, origin, composition, and durability. The repair sector is expected to grow by €4.8 billion, increasing demand for specialized technicians and new businesses.
Business Centers
The directive will stimulate green jobs and new skills, increasing demand for specialized technicians and remanufacturing professionals. New roles, like eco-design project managers and sustainable innovation managers, will emerge to improve corporate sustainability.
