Lutter contre l'obsolescence programmée : passer de la société du jetable à celle du durable

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This is a French ordinary bill (proposition de loi) in the National Assembly, during the 15th legislature. Its title, roughly 'Fighting planned obsolescence: moving from a disposable society to a durable one', signals an aim to reduce deliberate shortening of product lifespans. Planned obsolescence refers to designing goods to wear out or become outdated sooner than necessary, pushing consumers to replace them. Based on the title alone, consumers buying electronics, appliances and other manufactured goods would be the main group affected, along with manufacturers, repairers and sellers. The exact obligations, such as repairability or durability requirements, cannot be confirmed from metadata alone.
