On July 1, 2024, the EU’s “Right to Repair” directive came into effect. Its goals: extend the lifespan of electronic devices, conserve resources, and reduce e-waste. The next step is its transposition into German law. In this session, we explore what such regulation means for industry and retail. What new requirements will they face? Where are the opportunities, the challenges, and what “side effects” might the sector expect? And how will consumers respond?
We’ll examine the findings of a new study that offers a 360-degree perspective and engage in discussion with industry insiders.
