Abstract

This study focuses on the current challenges in the lifetime extension of smartphones. The factors influencing the lifetime are identified through a literature and sector-specific interviews. Several life cycle stages such as design for durability and repair, business strategies for retail, and use phases are detailed and discussed. Additionally, the study reviews current state of art European policies and potential solutions, means, and actions to extend the lifetime of a smartphone. Finally, the current best practices for lifetime extension are discussed, and further development needs are identified.
