"The Emerging 'Right to Repair' legislation in the EU and the U.S." is a scholarly source pre-printed in the Lund University Libraries discussing new right to repair laws, and their impact on the environment and economy. It starts by discussing the current state of right to repair and how the consumer doesn't get to make the choice of if they will fix a product themselves anymore. The paper then examines specific barriers to open access and repair, such as EULA (End-User License Agreement) forbidding "unauthorized repair," or planned obsolescence. After listing the barriers, the paper proceeds to suggest policy and regulatory changes to protect consumer rights, eliminating or diminishing the barriers previously examined. Concerns about brand reputation, consumer safety, and privacy issues with independent repair are briefly mentioned, then the paper concludes by discussing how right to repair and open access laws should prioritize the benefit to the consumer, and of the environment. I plan on using the source to go in depth on how passing right to repair laws will improve the economy, and to discuss the current barriers to right to repair by referencing examples discussed in the paper.

The article "Empowering Sustainable Consumption by Giving Back to Consumers the 'Right to Repair'," is a peer reviewed paper published in Sustainability 2020. It addresses the environmental benefits of right to repair, and how designing repairable products can empower the consumer to be more sustainable through the continued use of a product. The article explains how industry has improved product sustainability through design around manufacturing, use, and disposal, which are motivated through cost efficiency and market pressures. It then analyses EU directives, such as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), and the Ecodesign Directive. The authors explain how these directives promote the extended use of a product. They also look at a shift towards a "circular economy," discussing how deeper systemic change is needed to integrate a cycle of reuse, reconditioning, repair, and recycling. I plan on using this source to show the benefits of EU regulation to contrast it with legislation in the United States, and to illustrate the importance of keeping products in service to maximize the value of the original materials.

The article "FTC sues Deere & Co. for monopolizing farm-equipment repair market" is a media source written by John O'Connor for the Associated Press. It details a class action lawsuit filed by the FTC in cooperation with the attorney general of Illinois and Minnesota, accusing them of monopolizing the repair market of their farm equipment. The FTC alleges that the practice increases repair costs, and causes significant delays for the farmers who rely on the equipment. They also claim that Deere refuses to share the software diagnostics needed to repair their farming equipment, making it impossible for an individual to repair their equipment. O'Connor then presents a quote from Lina M. Khan, an FTC chairperson, stating "[farmers should be] free to repair their own equipment or use repair shops of their choice — lowering costs, preventing ruinous delays, and promoting fair competition." Deere denies all of the allegations, and claims to support customer repair. I plan on using this source as |
