I think it's still hard to say which policies would be effective. I think CO2-equivalent emission taxes are a good starting point It might also be possible to put a recycling fee on each produced device based on the retail price and the amount of damage it would cause to the environment if the device was dumped in the environment When a device is then handed in for recycling the company is refunded the fee minus the cost of to handle it at the recycling facility On the downside that could also encourage companies to create products that are replaced before they are no longer usable, though honestly we already have that problem. It could maybe be prevented by lowering the fee based on how long the company commit to supporting the model with software and replacement parts
