Should manufacturers be forced to design products that can be easily repaired?
I like repairing things....it's what I live for! That is, of course, a sad fact of my life but, I really do love solving problems, faults, logistical challenges etc..... I have been increasingly frustrated over the last 10 years as products have become less reliable and less able to be repaired without going back to the manufacturer. Sections of circuit board should be replaceable, parts easily sourced and priced appropriately and diagrams and schematics should be freely available online to anyone.

It would stop more carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere than grounding every airplane on the planet! We are forced to throw perfectly functioning items away simply because 1 tiny weeny component breaks!!! What a waste!!! Craig O&#39;Neill BEng (talk) 01:36, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
