As does any regulation. That does not mean the regulation is bad. I wouldn't regulate this issue with specific rules, just put a cost on waste. Each company would need to deal with the product waste in an environmetally safe way. If they can essentially recycle the replaced products into new ones, then I have no problem with that. But if it ends up as waste, then there should be a price on that. I wonder how much would this motivate companies to make repairable products.
- bonzini 9y agoIsn't that how RoHS already works?
- civilitty 9y agoRoHS is a limit on toxic chemical concentrations in materials used for electrical equipment to limit environmental and public exposure to a few egregiously toxic compounds (i.e., the solder in a radio can have a maximum of 1000 ppm of lead, but no more). You're probably thinking of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive which is the one that set recycling goals for electronic waste.
