The UK government is considering whether to require all new electronic devices to use the same type of charging cable.<\/p>\n

A call for evidence launched in October is asking for views on the benefits of using a particular charging cable – such as USB-C, which is used by many modern devices.<\/p>\n

It comes after the European Union passed a law on a common charging cable in 2022, which firms must adopt by December<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The UK government said at the time it was not considering similar rules.<\/p>\n

The EU’s law aims to cut electronic waste by requiring small to medium electronic device manufacturers to use USB-C chargers.<\/p>\n

Apple criticised the decision, but ultimately ditched its proprietary lightning charging cables for iPhones in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Electronic goods, from mobile phones to e-readers and headphones, still vary in their charging port and cable requirements.<\/p>\n

Following the EU’s law, many devices now use USB-C charging cables, although some still require other cables such as micro-USB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Apple introduced its own proprietary lightning connectors with the iPhone 5 in 2012.<\/p>\n

But after more than a decade of use it was phased out and replaced with USB-C ports in more recent versions of its handsets, starting with the iPhone 15 last September.<\/p>\n

Consumer groups have frequently pointed to the number of different cables needed and discarded based on the varying options for connectors on devices as a source of e-waste.<\/p>\n

Materials Focus, a charity encouraging the reuse and recycling of electricals, has been encouraging people to recycle old cables to meet growing demand for their copper contents.<\/p>\n

Research by its Recycle Your Electricals campaign suggested the UK had more than 600 million unused or discarded cables<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, some have previously warned that the EU’s directive will lead to a rise in discarded lightning cables in years to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
