How Modularity and Right-to-Repair Are Reducing E-Waste

Modern technology contributes the most to e-waste production because manufacturers design gadgets to have brief product lives. During manufacturing some devices contain planned obsolescence features which make them hard to fix or maintain. Technology which embraces environmental sustainability produces revolutionary changes in manufacturing practices.

Modularity stands as an innovative approach in transforming the production industry. The Fairphone and Framework laptop have designs that facilitate easy breakdown and maintenance as well as upgrade capabilities. Need a new camera or battery? Changing modules is possible without requiring any technicians.

Modern business partnerships include support for right-to-repair movements which provides users with product documentation alongside repair component and maintenance equipment. The strategy prolongs device lifespans and decreases new manufacturing requirements thus it minimizes environmental footprints.
