The other alternative would be to set standards for recycling to make sure things get really recycled. This would probably drive up cost which then hopefully would make repairing more attractive.
- ReptileMan 7y agoThe problem with repairability is that you must decide to what level. Replacing transistor in a chip has been impossible for 50 years. Replacing chip was possible 30 years ago. Right now we have soldiered on ram and storage in phones and glued displays. I think that we should insist that parts are replacable - we split the phone into 10-15 parts. But even if I could rule by decree I am not sure I can make the right call what exactly is the right way.
