EU Enforces Universal USB-C Charger Mandate to Reduce E-Waste.

The European Union has implemented a groundbreaking directive requiring all electronic gadgets sold within its member states to adopt USB-C chargers. This mandate, aimed at reducing e-waste and simplifying consumer charging needs, prohibits the use of USB-2 and other outdated port types.

Directive 2022/2380 compels manufacturers to include USB-C ports in devices like smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, portable speakers, and more. The rule applies to gadgets rechargeable via cable with power requirements up to 100 watts. Exceptions include high-power devices like the PlayStation 5, which uses a 350-watt supply, and specific laptops that have until April 28, 2026, to comply.

This directive seeks to eliminate market fragmentation, cut down on redundant chargers, and promote fast charging and sustainable practices. It also discourages bundling chargers with single devices and emphasizes better labeling for user convenience. While wireless charging remains outside the directive’s scope, the EU Commission promises to monitor its progress to ensure consumer and environmental benefits.

The move is a significant step toward environmental sustainability and consumer convenience, marking a universal shift in charging standards. The EU’s proactive stance reflects its commitment to addressing e-waste and creating a more unified technology market.
