@EUCommission Have you considered making that easier? In order to dispose of my ewaste I need to make an appointment (!) at the local recycling center, find someone to drive me there as they hate pedestrians, queue like some kind of indolent buffoon in spite of having an appointment.

@EUCommission stop trading with Israel.

@EUCommission Recently bought another couch secondhand. Reason i had to buy another couch was that the components *read springs* could not be bought seperately at the store i bought the original new couch. Yes, handing in old equipment is a good idea but also the right to repair or to not have to buy a completely new/different thing because of not being able to repair. *also* focus on that.

@EUCommission
Maybe we wouldn't need to keep them as hot spares if there was legislation that crucial everyday tasks could be done without a smartphone registered at either Apple or Google.

@EUCommission I kept all of my old ones. I don't think it's a lot for a 30ish years span 😏 I also have 2 landline phones (not in the picture) ☎️

@EUCommission awesome! Now do home appliances. Refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and televisions need the same treatment.

@EUCommission

Or you could legislate against developing software at a rate thats imposible to use in a sustained form the same device for more than 2-3 years before having to dispose it?

@EUCommission There's nothing "circular" about it, if we keep on buying more and more of everything year after year. The first rule to be circular is to stop growing. Circles have a constant radius.

@EUCommission
Some may be used without SIM as media players and/or cameras.

The walled gardens of Apple & Google need ending so that people can add and remove apps. Banks and other artificially make phones obsolete by Apps that only work on recent iOS or Android even when the phone OS is still supported.

We need a bigger picture than repair & recycling.

@EUCommission or, deal with the SW problem so those phones can be used for other things. force vendors to release technical documentation for outdated phones so we can build SW for it ourselves. and I don't mean only soc, but also actuators, cameras etc

@EUCommission Sverige är top 3!

@EUCommission Se non posso usare le app bancarie sul mio telefono principale, che è senza i servizi Google e Play Integrity, devo per forza avere 2 telefoni. Pensate prima a questo e poi al riciclo.
