Right to repair: how can we end built-in obsolescence? - Critical Conversations

In this Critical conversation, Academy Chief Executive, Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE, discussed the Right to repair with Mark Miodownik MBE FREng, Professor of Materials and Society at UCL Mechanical Engineering and Dr Amrit Chandan, Co-founder and CEO, Aceleron. We live in a 21st century world of fast-fashion, disposable electronics, and made-to-break appliances and our planet’s finite resources are dwindling fast as consumption continues unabated. With UK and EU Right-to-Repair legislation set to change the rights of citizens to access and carry out repairs on some household appliances, this conversation explores how we got into such a state of dis-repair and what can be done to change it as rapid action is needed to address this broken system and ensure the UK hits its net zero targets. How can we accelerate this response and who are the key players needed to make this happen? What part to engineers have to play? How do we ensure that we all have the right to repair? #EngineeringZero
