They say all good things must come to an end. While there is some truth to this statement, businesses have a responsibility to make things last a long as they possible can. Instead, many products are cheaply made to be quickly replaced and discarded as soon as any little thing breaks or a slightly newer model hits the market. It’s how businesses are used to making money and how we have been conditioned to consume.
In order for most business to change the way they do something, it better make them money. For many consumers, it better save them money.
Perhaps one solution is for all companies to give away or sell replacement parts. Better yet, as part of a product’s warranty, something all products should come with, customers could send their repairable items back to the manufacturer for little or no cost. In other words, while companies look at making our favorite products sustainable, perhaps they could create a revenue stream by selling us a sustainable home repair kit or offer us a lifetime warranty for a few extra bucks.
