Doesnt planned obsolescence in product development contribute to the growing electronics recycling problem?
High-tech products are not designed to become obsolete. While the sustained pace of high-tech innovation is indeed astounding, these devices often have multiple owners over years of useful life. There is a growing global demand for IT, wireless and consumer electronics devices that enable communications, increase productivity, and provide access to health, entertainment and educational resources. Electronics manufacturers will continue to design sustainability considerations into innovative new products that the public demands.
