The right to repair: a global movement for change

Sustainability through the right to repair

By TechGeeks Namibia

Did you know the Right to Repair Act is gaining momentum worldwide? The EU has enforced regulations compelling manufacturers like Apple to support independent repairs, providing consumers with more options for where and how they repair their devices. This shift empowers people to extend the lifespan of their technical devices, reduce e-waste and make more sustainable choices.

At TechGeeks Namibia, we’ve championed this cause since the beginning. We believe everyone should have the right to repair their device where they choose, without fear of voiding warranties or facing unfair restrictions.

Fighting the stigma around repairs

One common misconception is that “a repaired device will never work the same again”. We’re here to prove that’s not true! When done correctly, using quality components and expert hands, your repaired device can perform as well as – or even better than – it did before.

Here’s why:

• Expert technicians: Our technicians follow strict guidelines and use premium-grade tools.

• Spare options: Whether you want recycled original spares through our Apple buyback programme or brandnew original spares, the choice is yours.

• Proven results: We’ve repaired countless devices, showing time and time again that quality repairs make all the difference.

• Sustainability in action: By recycling components, we reduce waste while offering clients affordable, highquality repair options.

Our Apple buyback programme: a game changer

In early to mid-2024, we launched our Apple buyback programme, creating a sustainable solution for our region.

Here’s how it works:

• We buy used devices from clients and recycle their working components.

• These recycled spares are certified original, enabling us to perform cost-effective repairs.

• Clients save up to 50% compared to using new spares – an excellent option for those who want to repair their devices affordably and sustainably.

This initiative is especially important in third-world countries like Namibia, where discarding devices due to manufacturerimposed limitations is neither practical nor sustainable.

If you can’t fix it, you don’t own it!
