There are around 700 million unused phones in EU homes.

That’s nearly two devices for every single person.

By disposing of them properly, we can:

🔸Reuse lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements
🔸Reduce our reliance on imports
🔸Increase our resilience against global market disruptions

The EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan wants to make repairable design the norm, as a vital step toward reducing e-waste.

@EUCommission probably no one reads it here, but you should give some resources to @postmarketOS , since they are the forefront for this problem; and they tackle it even before recycling, making these devices reusable.

@portaloffreedom @EUCommission @postmarketOS solded batteries could be the first issue to extend the life of the phone, but allowing system security update is certainly a must.
#linuxphone needs support, as well as alternative androids like @iode and similar.
