This is a problem (like most environmental issues) that can be only solved by limiting people's freedom of choice through regulation / taxation so that buying low-quality junk becomes uneconomical or impossible.
The rich can afford to buy quality. The poor can eventually buy these quality products used when the rich decide they want a new one. It's insane how much quality furniture and electronics one can find used for a fraction of original price, little to no wear and exactly same value provided.

And old electronics, even if they're mint-condition, can be completely useless. What would I do with a portable Minidisc player, for instance? Or a Betamax VCR?
