Repair advocacy is the movement that promotes the right to repair and encourages individuals to fix their own devices and products instead of discarding them. This approach aims to reduce waste, save money, and empower consumers by providing them with the knowledge and tools needed for repairs. Organizations and activists in the repair advocacy space often push for legislation that requires manufacturers to provide access to spare parts, repair manuals, and tools. This ensures that products, from smartphones to appliances, can be repaired easily, fostering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to consumption.
