Biggest problem I can think of there can be answered with most of the warranty repairs I've ever had done. "We don't have any parts for your $old_thing, here, have a $new_thing" Great from the consumer standpoint, but useless when it comes to reducing the amount of trash. And I'd be willing to bet that once something doesn't have any parts, it's not gonna be refurbished, it's gonna be scavenged for useful parts (if that's even possible), if not outright destroyed.
