Caption: UK Weighs Adoption of Universal Charging Cable Similar to EU’s. The UK government is considering whether to require all new electronic devices to use a standard charging cable, such as USB-C. This follows the European Union’s decision in 2022 to mandate a common charging standard, aimed at reducing electronic waste. The UK initially wasn’t planning similar rules, but now seeks input from the public. The EU's law, which must be adopted by December, pushed companies like Apple to switch from their proprietary lightning cables to USB-C in 2023. Consumer groups argue that standardizing charging cables could significantly reduce the e-waste caused by discarded cables for different devices.
