Perhaps we could start by penalizing companies like HP that actively participate to this waste by producing stuff like their shitty disposable printers (where buying new cartridges can cost more than buying a whole new printer). Likewise, we could also penalize phone providers who keep pushing new phones on people for absolutely no good reason (other than to line their pockets). Or maybe, and I know this is some kind of wild idea, we could require manufacturers to make interoperable parts that can actually be changed and switched between devices, regardless of brand. I don't know...
