What the petition asks
The EU has provisionally agreed that all new portable electronic devices must, by autumn 2024, use a USB Type-C charger, regardless of who makes the devices. However, the UK government has said that it is not adopting the same plan.
Adopting a common charging cable would make the UK more sustainable, reduce electronic waste and make consumers' lives much easier.
