Let's keep fighting for a real Right to Repair in 2026!
Read the full blog post: repair.eu/news/the-sta...
Before an exciting update next week, we're reflecting on last year and the issues that we'll be focusing on next, including:
๐โ Circular Economy Act
โ Horizontal measures on repairability
๐ป Ecodesign regulations for computers
๐ National implementation of the Right to Repair directive
This European Waste Reduction Week, we are renewing our message: we must reduce our e-waste by buying less, repairing what we have, and reusing it responsibly ๐ชโ
#EWWR2025
According to the latest Eurostat data from 2022:โ
๐ถ๐ป๏ธ 14.4 million tonnes of electrical & electronic equipment was put on the marketโ and 5 million tonnes of e-waste was collectedโ
๐๏ธ This equates to roughly 11.2 kg of e-waste collected per personโ
๐ WEEE is one of the fastest growing waste streams within the EU today, increasing by around 20% each yearโ .
๐ชจ๐ช Reuse of WEEE is essential as many of these products contain critical raw materials and other metals that will be sought after to fuel the transition towards renewable energyโ
It's the 2025 European Week for Waste Reduction ๐ซ๐๏ธ โ
โ
This year, the campaign is focusing on WEEE (or e-waste) which is right in our ball park! โ
โ
We'll be sharing stats on our waste problem and what we can do to solve the issue together throughout the week. โ
โ
Stay tuned ๐โ

Good news for the European Economic Area but this offer, at least, should be extended to the United Kingdom also. Well done โช@r2reurope.bsky.socialโฌ and let's hear from you @microsoft.com
Microsoft ending free #Windows10 updates risks e-waste & disrupts millions of #SMEs. Planned obsolescence shouldnโt fall on small businesses. We need mandatory repairability, guaranteed long-term software support & enforceable #RightToRepair.

We need mandatory repairability, long-term software support, and strong #RighttoRepair laws. Recycling isnโt enough; the Circular Economy Act must prioritise reuse and repair.
โ๏ธ Share this post and tag @microsoft.com and @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu โ letโs say no more to fast-tech!
Campaigners gathered at @microsoft.com's Brussels offices to protest the end of #Windows10, urging them to reconsider and the @ec.europa.eu to introduce Ecodesign requirements for laptops and other energy-related products, so that this cannot happen again ๐ป๐

โ๏ธ Share this post โ we demand longterm software updates for all devices with a plug or battery, and this includes our laptops. Visit repair.eu to read how communities across the world have been taking action
This action could generate over 700 million kg of e-waste
and ironically, onย #EWasteDay, just 4 days before Internationalย #RepairDay
We donโt have to accept fast tech. We urge Microsoft to extend support for Windows and ask the @ec.europa.euย to introduce Ecodesign requirements for laptops and more
๐จ 1 week left until @microsoft.com ends free, automatic support for #Windows10, resulting in around 400 million PCs being unable to upgrade.

๐ข Weโre calling on Commissioners @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu & @hennavirkkunen.bsky.social to put an end to premature software obsolescence โ for all devices with a plug or battery ๐๐
๐ป The end of Windows 10 could cause over 700 million kilograms of e-waste. This is just an example of how the widespread practice of software obsolescence threatens European consumers, environment, and digital sovereignty.
500+ orgs from around the world - including US PIRG, @therestartproject.org, @ifixit.com, Euroconsumers, Repair.org and Consumer Reports - are advocating for repair and reuse by signing an open letter to @microsoft.com, calling for them to extend free and automatic updates for Windows 10
