Default Re: Changing the throw away culture BBC News today.

Honestly I’m ok with throwing stuff away as long as it is effectively recycled. The integration these days makes repair impractical.

What I want to see is where the manufacturer has to buy back the dead item for slightly greater than material value as part of the recycling process much like the glass bottle buy back that some European countries operate.

That would kill waste instantly and make products more reliable overnight.
