Is your phone built to be repaired, or replaced?๐คณ
In the EU, we have the #RightToRepair certain devices when they break or wear out - but it's not always easy.
Yet, repair is a cornerstone of a #CircularEconomy, reminded our @evamariabille.bsky.social at today's webinar with #SwitchAsia.
"We are already in ecological overshoot," @evamariabille.bsky.social from the European Environmental Bureau said at our #POLITICOSustainableSummit.

Ecodesign Working Plan
๐๏ธ The new Ecodesign Working Plan is out - but it falls short of promises.
The plan unveiled today by the @ec.europa.eu is an important first step towards making products sustainable by design, yet it does not live up to the hard-won promises in the EU #Ecodesign law. ๐งต๐
Driving towards circular steel? It is possible!
