The Right to Repair Directive: what it means for Lithuanian consumers

The Right to Repair directive is changing the electronics repair industry in Europe in 2026, and Lithuania is part of it. This EU directive gives consumers unprecedented rights, from access to spare parts to technical documentation and repair manuals. This means you can extend the life of your electronics, save significantly more money and contribute to environmental protection. In this article, we will explain what the Right to Repair Directive actually means for Lithuanian consumers and how you can benefit from it.

What is the Right to Repair EU Directive?

The Right to Repair Directive is an EU instrument designed to give consumers the right to repair their electronic devices without any restrictions or fear from manufacturers. Until now, most of the global electronics manufacturers have imposed very strict restrictions on repairs from the horrors of patents and copyrights - prohibiting unauthorized repairers from having access to spare parts, software or technical documentation. The Right to Repair Directive puts an end to these discriminatory practices.

This directive was formally adopted to reduce the amount of e-waste in the world, empower consumers and support a sustainable green economy. According to the new requirements, manufacturers must sell spare parts, publish repair manuals and provide access to all necessary technical data to self-repairers.
