It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:

The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.

Honestly, the EU's where it's at.

  • Universal standards like USB-C instead of proprietary ports that cause waste
  • Removable batteries
  • GDPR
  • Universal healthcare
  • Right to repair

Invest in your people, and you'll go far.
