| The European Union is seeking to facilitate the replacement of phone batteries |
The European Union is currently working on a plan to easily replace the smartphone's battery, as it wasn't long before the replacement of the smartphone's battery without technical assistance became easy. Users can easily open the back cover of the device to power it, give the battery.
It is important to have a removable battery on the smartphone, but this is not an exception, but today replacing the battery on the smartphone is a daunting task, requires special equipment, and may no longer be guaranteed.
According to the latest report by the Dutch financial magazine (Het Financieele Dagblad), the European Union wants to force electronics manufacturers to facilitate the change of batteries, and sustainability seems to be the main idea of this proposal, because simple battery life allows people to use their smartphones for a long time, which reduces E-waste.
The leaked draft of the proposal shows that France Timmermans, Vice President of Green Trade at the European Commission, will submit the proposal in mid-March, and the European Union is said to be finalizing the proposal, which will require extensive retraining. Products. , Reuse of raw materials and more sustainable production.
The report comes two weeks after the European Union decided to force smartphone makers to use USB Type C as the standard outlet for all devices. Standardization of connections and easy replaceable batteries should reduce e-waste significantly.
The proposal predicts the burden of reducing the burden of electronic waste on manufacturers who have to make sure that their equipment is easy to repair and that these companies must ensure that spare parts are available to the public. This helps maintenance companies perform their duties.
Timmers also proposes a ban on the destruction of unsold items in the European Union, which leads to increased reuse of raw materials and a reduction in waste exports to other countries.
In order to promote the reuse of used electronic products, the European Union is establishing a European system for collecting used mobile phones, tablets and chargers. The proposal makes clear that the European Union also wants to focus on the wider recycling of packaging materials and reduce the use of precision plastics in products and packaging. Packaging.
