♻️a product durability index
♻️coordination with #EUcivilsociety
📣Together we can build a world where consumers are empowered and able to make choices that benefit themselves and the 🌍.

💡 Bulbs burning out quicker than expected.
☕Coffee makers breaking down too quickly.
This is planned obsolescence and we were the first to address it in 2013.
Back then, we called for a total ban on products with built-in defects designed to prematurely end a product's life.
