Making Every Day Repair Day with Intention, Policy, and Standards
TÜV Rheinland organised a webinar on the repairability of electronics, in which world renowned speakers shared their professional views on how utilising intention, policy, and standards could accelerate the initiative. Thanks to the permission from TUV, this webinar can now be accessed on Matters Academy.
Through this sharing, we hope you will become more aware of the footprint electronics has on the world and how repairability can be integrated into our daily purchasing decisions. We also hope that you gain a deeper understanding into the repairability movement and what different stakeholders and industries are doing to push it forward.
