"The UK government introduced right to repair legislation earlier in 2021 to combat the growing issue of electronic waste, but data sanitisation firm Blancco says that while it’s a step in the right direction, there is definitely scope for improvement.

The legislation, which was announced by government on 10 March and came into effect on 8 July, makes it easier for consumers to repair white goods such as washing machines, dishwashers and fridges, as well as products with “electronic displays” like TVs.

Under the rules, manufacturers of these goods – which have been given a two-year window to make the necessary changes to their business – are obliged to make spare parts available so consumers can carry out repairs, either themselves or through a third party supplier."
