I wish the EU would just stop getting their grubby hands ibto everything they possibly can

its for the environment.. EU has set carbon emission goals etc by 2030, and 2050 ?

batteries are terrible for the environment..

but one thing that is worse is.. throwing away a used phone because the battery is terrible, because replacing the battery is gonna cost the same as a new phone.

my last 3 phones, for example, where all replaced because the battery was shit. unable to replace it without paying the same as a new phone..

making products having a replacable battery (available to purchase as well) will cause fewer products to be produced, meaning fewer emissions.

also the old batteries have to be recycled 100%.
