    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

        Do the same thing with phones that have non-replaceable batteries, too.

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