Our organization

Notre association

Since 2015, the non-profit organization Stop Planned Obsolescence has been campaigning for more sustainable products and the circular economy. It aims to defend consumers as well as the environment.

Our mission: To unite citizens, public and private sector to extend the lifespan of products through advocacy, awareness-raising and legal action. We operate primarily at the national level in France, but also at the European level. In France, we have successfully advocated for the ‘repair bonus’, reparability and sustainability indices, and secured legal victories against major corporations.

We are the founding members of the International Alliance for Durability.
