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

(Natural News) 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 rating products according to ease of repair, durability, sustainability, and other factors pertaining to effective lifespan. Each label would have a QR code that potential buyers could scan with their smart phones in order to find out its score.
