you can’t convince me everyone is recycling their used electronics.
Amazon bricks your expensive new-ish device and now you have to pay to have it recycled? Hell no people aren’t recycling them, and that too should be illegal. Amazon should be legally required to take responsibility for recycling those devices, and how the device is recycled should be part of the device design process.
I have an hard time believing they will handle it properly, given that they prefer to trash many returned items rather than putting them back into stock when it suits them.
