@EU_Commission please please please. I worked in telecoms at the start of the century. What went on then is worse today. We. MUST use existing devices first to make repairs. The idea of putting a new "thing" into an older model means creating an imbalance I supply chains that Increases the impact of the industry. The new part comes from an entire device. Or from a plan for an exact amount of "things" headed for an exact amount of devices. There's also the fact that devuce makers don't publish the probability of needing a repair. Which they could. And choose not to. HACCP means they must calculate this or they are negligent. Companies do not plan for repairs required, in a sales and operational planning sense, thus there will always be unnecessary waste. BTW, tax deductible repairs would help small businesses and the self employed.
