Microsoft has released a new study, which emphasizes the positive impact of product repairs on the environment. It goes on to focus on the better repairability methods the company will adopt in the future and there’s a possibility that it might come up with a self-repair program, much like Apple, Samsung, and even Google. Here are the findings.
The study, in collaboration with the UK-based consulting firm Oakdene Hollins, suggests how repairing (both factory and ASP repairs) a device has a better impact on the environment with the reduction of waste and greenhouse gas (GHS) emissions.
While this study focuses more on how the repairability process can be improved for a sustainable environment, it indirectly hints at a self-repair program since repairing is now proven to be a better option. However, we still don’t if Microsoft aims to follow the likes of Apple, Samsung, and Google. In a statement, Microsoft suggested that it has “been taking steps for years to improve device reparability and to expand the available choices for device repair.“
