All those devices that are charged by wire and operate at up to 100W will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C port - regardless of the manufacturer.   <\/strong>This is a groundbreaking decision that aims to simplify the lives of consumers and reduce the negative impact of electrical and electronic waste on the environment. The European Commission and the European Parliament unanimously recognized that this solution will have a positive impact on the ecosphere and will allow for a minimal reduction in consumerism. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Customers can choose whether they want to purchase a new device with or without a charger.<\/strong>  This should reduce the accumulation of e-waste in homes, and therefore the throwing of e-waste into inappropriate containers. The EU estimates that broken and unused chargers constitute around 11,000 tonnes of waste. This is a frightening amount - but another question arises - what about chargers with other tips when the EU recommendations regarding USB-C come into force?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><\/p>\n<h2>Are all manufacturers ready for change?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"uncode_text_column\" ><p><strong>European Commission research shows that half of all chargers sold in 2018 in EU countries used a USB micro-B connector. Only 29% had a USB-C connector, and 21% had a Lightning connector, used by Apple since 2012.    <\/strong>Standardising chargers to a single standard will make many proprietary charging ports (like Apple's Lightning) obsolete in Europe. Manufacturers therefore argue that once chargers are standardised to USB-C, all the others that are already in consumers' homes will go to the trash. Researchers in an issue of the Northwestern Journal of International Law &amp; Business investigated the matter. In fact, as of 2019, only 29% of phones sold in the European Union used USB-C chargers. Therefore, forcing the switch to USB-C would make almost 71% of chargers useless for consumers. Customers who buy newer devices with a USB-C port will no longer be able to reuse their older chargers with a different input.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><\/p>\n<h2>Customer education - in line with new regulations. What changes will come with the unification of device chargers? <\/h2>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"uncode_text_column\" ><p><strong>However, if we look at the matter in a broader, long-term perspective, according to analyses by the European Commission, thanks to the unification of the charging standard, European citizens will be able to save up to 250 million euros per year.<\/strong> In addition to economic benefits, the new regulations aim to reduce <strong>the amount of electronic waste<\/strong> , which is a significant step towards sustainable development. Guidelines regarding product charging requirements are to appear on device labels. Perhaps in a few years, we will only need one charger for all equipment at home or in the office?  <\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/interzero.pl\/en\/blog\/80-of-paper-recycling-in-europe-latest-cepi-data-2023\/\">here<\/a> again!
