In this paper we will analyse the five forms of obsolescence (programmed, functional, psychological, technological and indirect) as probable causes of the “consumer society” in which we are immersed. We will also propose some measures that can be taken from private law and which, in our opinion, would contribute to the fight against obsolescence and to achieving more sustainable consumption and production methods. These measures include the improvement of pre-contractual information duties, the extension of guarantee periods, the recognition of the right to repair (R2R), as well as the obligation imposed on traders to update digital content or services.
