Reuse repair and recycle are in this order for a reason.
Companies should use recycle as a last resort. And especially should consider repair when producing items.
However people buy cheap new shit more often than try to repair sth.
Fuck consum economy
Sometimes the only option is to buy the cheap shit too and it pisses me off. Theres so many times where I want a quality version of some tool or item and I can only find the item in cheap materials barely different than any other version. Ive started even designing my own stuff and going through sendcutsend or having it manufactured otherwise
Or there is only a cheap option or an option over 10x as expensive with no middle ground.
