Repair has become expensive and inaccessible.

Due to intellectual property laws and financial barriers, repair has become inaccessible to individuals and independent repair businesses. It is often cheaper to replace an item than to repair it, because of these barriers and economies of scale.

Our products are no longer designed to last.

Industry priorities have shifted, resulting in products that no longer last. Right to Repair not only overcomes legislative and financial barriers to repair, but reorders industrial design priorities, resulting in more durable and longer lived products.

Join SRRI in advocating for Right to Repair in BC.

In October 2019, the European Union passed legislation around the Right to Repair for household appliances, and we want to mirror those policies in local legislation. Learn more about the Right to Repair below and sign up to get involved here.
