- Scoundreller 7y agoFor reduce... Would be nice if all manufacturers were required to sell spare parts. Or at least label each part with a part-number so others could part their units out for parts. Or if you don't want to sell spare parts, or want to stop selling them, then you must release the plans.
- anticensor 7y agoA nice middle ground may be requiring to release plans if the product has been for sale for more than one designated replacement period.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoThe product you don't own has less impact than the one you repair. Though I'm not sure we are ready to embrace that idea yet.
- orev 7y agoReducing waste via repair is indeed a valid goal, but at the level of consumer volume, really a very tiny thing to be worried about. The quantity of plastic bags, bottles, boxes, and other packaging is staggering compared to what one might generate once every few years when buying a new phone.
