How long are YOUR electronic devices programed to last? Proposed “durability” labels may help you make greener choices

If you ask Brune Poirson, the discerning French consumer should know exactly how long a product is expected to last. According to a Deutsche Welle article, he’s proposing for the adoption of a labeling system that will rate a product on its durability, ability to be recycled, and ecological footprint. The Secretary of State to France’s ecology minister has suggested […]
