Regulations to “establish eco-design requirements for mobile phones, cordless phones and tablets” will also require phones to label their energy efficiency, such as battery life and drop resistance. “The sharp increase in demand for smartphones and tablets, combined with their increased functionality, has resulted in increased demand for energy and materials needed to manufacture these devices in the EU market, accompanied by an increase in their associated environmental impact” , the document states. . Fifteen components should be available for at least five years from the device’s market date, and batteries should survive at least 500 full charges without degrading below 83 percent of their capacity “In addition, devices are often replaced prematurely by users and, at the end of their useful life, are not sufficiently reused or recycled, leading to a waste of resources. In this context, the preparatory study identified environmental aspects that should be addressed in this Regulation. These aspects are mainly about resource efficiency and include avoiding premature obsolescence, repairability, reliability of products and their key components such as batteries and display, reusability and recyclability.” Fifteen components would have to be available for at least five years from the device’s market date, and the batteries would have to survive at least 500 full charges without degrading below 83 percent of their capacity, according to officials commenting on the proposals. . Designed to reduce the environmental impact of ubiquitous electronic devices, a preparatory study by the European Commission indicated that legal requirements should “be related to design for reliability, including resistance to accidental drops, scratch resistance, protection from dust and water and battery life. disassembly and repairability, availability of operating system version upgrades, erasure of data and transfer of functions after use, provision of appropriate information for users, repairers and recyclers as well as battery durability.” While these proposals only apply in the EU for now, an interesting precedent suggests they may be relevant in the US. An EU-led move to standardize charging cables has now been debated in the US Senate. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Massachusetts senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren, along with Bernie Sanders (I-VT) say the proliferation of charging standards has created a messy situation for consumers, as well as an environmental hazard. ®
