Following on from Baggy's recent BBCi player thread it was heartening to read this.
There's a lot of waste out there. There have been various schemes aimed at improving it. Recently mobile phone chargers were targeted for saving. The EU warranty should be 2 years not one on many items but enforcing it is difficult. The useful life of a car should be 6 years not 1-3 years but again try enforcing it other than going to court.
Apparently there is still no legislation regarding supply of spare parts. Hifi is an exception I think as much well designed stuff from 20-40 years ago is still working well, easily serviced, and can be integrated with modern streamers etc
