    No where does it say that consumers should be required to do these things. Just that if the only end of life possibility for a product is the land fill, then we should restrict it’s manufacturing. Obviously there would need to be exceptions for things like medical needs or accessibility accomodations.

      So we don’t want to achieve the recycling, repair, and re-use, we just want to know it’s theoretically possible?

          Ad hominem aside… There’s a reason we want these things to fall into one of these categories. Presumably it’s so that we can actually recycle reuse or compost end of life products.

          So, either we want that sump pump disassembled into component level disposal categories so that we can achieve this goal, or we make peace with a disposal plan that involves chucking this in the trash as a fully assembled good that will almost certainly be cost and time prohibitive to dispose of in any other way than tossing it into a landfill.

          I’m saying this is a problem and you’re saying it’s not. You’re not identifying a solution to that problem you just name calling… And I’m the troll?
