Products discarded too early put considerable strain on finite planetary resources and households' budgets. Ensuring easier access to repair is essential to make products last longer. Unfortunately, consumers often face many barriers to repair their goods, such as high repair prices and a lack of spare parts, repair instructions or good quality repair services. An effective and practical right to repair is indispensable to ensure that consumer goods do not end up on the scrapheap unnecessarily or  prematurely.
