Introduce a "France style" repair and longevity label on electronic products.
Introduce a reparability and longevity score/index on smartphone, laptops and tablets, ect. Similar to what France will introduce in January 2021.The index should include, ease of disassemble and expected lifespan. This is to inform consumers and create competition to create longer lasting product.
