Data points on supersedure of ecodesign regulation for smartphones and tablets over batteries regulation

Executive summary
The data points presented in this paper support the argument previously made by DIGITALEUROPE that the ecodesign regulation for smartphones and tablets offers a higher level of environmental protection compared to the batteries regulation.

To support this argument, the data illustrate how the ecodesign regulation for smartphones and tablets offers a higher level of environmental protection compared to the batteries regulation. The data points illustrate that:

  • Failure can be avoided when Ingress Protection is granted;
  • Design choices increase physical durability and lead to a reduction of repair rate;
  • Longer lasting batteries delay replacement of smartphones;
  • Durability with professional repairability offers a high level of environmental protection.
