Despite claims of privacy concerns and IP infringement by corporations and manufacturers, right to repair laws are crucial to a sustainable circular economy--extending product lifespan, reducing electronic waste, and minimizing the environmental footprint of consumer goods.

In short, "right to repair" is the ability to fix the products you purchase. However, this right is debated by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers who broadly claim that allowing consumers to exercise this right freely could lead to adverse consequences. Because of the decline in the ease of repairing many electronic goods, a movement has evolved around the idea of right to repair. The principle of the movement is giving consumers the freedom to disassemble and diagnose issues to refurbish and fix all products that they own.
