      Oooooh, that’s a neat idea in light of the current EU legislation concerning the Right to Repair: Introduce a mandatory, highly visible, and standardized seal that all electronic devices have to display on the front of their box:

      Repairable

      or

      Disposable

        I would also suggest mandatory price caps on disposable products, to incentivize the elimination of production of such devices.

          It’d be more fitting to mandate every product to include its ecological price. Disposable vapes, for example, would disappear instantly.

            Also a good idea. I’m trying to make it too expensive to manufacture the vapes, you’re making them too expensive to purchase.
