An investigation reveals that many smartphone manufacturers are not respecting right-to-repair regulations in France. The findings indicate non-compliance with EPR requirements mandating manufacturers to ensure spare parts availability, provide technical documentation, and maintain repair services. This regulatory failure affects producer obligations under France's circular economy and anti-waste legislation, which requires manufacturers to support product repairability and reduce electronic waste. Affected manufacturers face potential enforcement actions for failing to meet their Extended Producer Responsibility duties regarding repair accessibility and consumer rights.
