The European Commission has initiated infringement proceedings against Italy and 17 other EU Member States for failing to fully transpose the Directive on the right to redress. The directive promotes sustainable consumption by enabling consumers to have products repaired even after warranties expire, aiming to reduce waste and emissions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Circular Economy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
