Do you also prevent the companies from just damanging the products in order to dispose of them?
Like what we here in Germany often see with books (because of "Buchpreisbindung") is them getting a black edding across the edge of the pages (aka when it is closed and you look at the book from the side, top, or bottom) or using a paper cutter to strike across the cover once...

@agowa338@chaos.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I have to agree with Klaus Frank. The company themselves destroying the product even though the product was perfectly fine is already common in the US. Similar to how they skirt the polyester recycling costs by simply producing excess polyester that then goes directly into the recycling process. So it's easier to recycle and more products can be sold with the upmark of using "recycled polyester"
