France has taken a historic step in consumer protection by officially banning the practice of planned obsolescence. The new legislation makes it a criminal offense for companies to intentionally design products with a limited lifespan or to manufacture goods that are meant to fail prematurely. This move is aimed at breaking the cycle of constant replacement that leads to massive amounts of electronic waste and places a heavy financial burden on consumers.
