Contracts and agreements aside, isn’t the reuse of devices actually less polluting than recycling itself? I know this is not the point, but still.

- KozmoNau7 6y agoBy a decent margin, yes. There's a reason it's "reduce, reuse, recycle" in that order, but obviously companies are not interested in their customers reducing their consumption, nor are they interested in letting them reuse or repair too much. They want us to buy something shiny and new on a regular basis, and to throw away our old devices for destructive recycling so they can't be reused or repaired.
