Yeah, sorry. If you prop-up the "recyclable" umbrella with corpospeak sentences like this one: > The Recyclable Umbrella is a reappraisal of the potential for plastic, a material which if properly managed offers carbon savings and excellent recyclability when compared with many organic alternatives. (ignoring that this construction would probably break on a moderately windy day, and naively assumes that it won't end up on a landfill only because it could be recycled) and then purposely over-engeneer the "long-lived" variant so it weighs 1.7 kilos and is practically unusable, you have motivated reasoning. The whole artsy handwaving of this piece also ignores that planned obsolescence often happens in products where the amount of uses is well-known and generally independent on the product's materials, e.g. dishwashers, fridges, etc.
