My favorite proposal is to require that all companies take back their products at EOL and recycle them to an extremely high standard. This pushes the externalities of low lifespan products directly back onto the manufacturer, encouraging them to design for both lifespan and easy repair/recycling.
Unfortunately we’ll also have to deal with IKEA style tactics of converting a single company into a complex web of disposable sub companies in order to dodge their tax or regulatory obligations.
