Is ‘Right To Repair‘ a headache or opportunity for manufacturers?

Is ‘Right To Repair‘ a headache or opportunity for manufacturers?

In this episode...

Sofeast's CEO Renaud Anjoran talks about the 'Right To Repair' movement and regulations that are starting to come into being here in late 2021 with Adrian from the team.

As sustainability is starting to permeate the public's consciousness, the mountains of e-waste produced each year are giving brands a bad name and upsetting customers. The right to repair aims to mitigate this problem.

What is the right to repair, why is it important, how could it affect manufacturers and electronic product design, and is it a headache or an opportunity for companies who're developing new electronic products?
