Just pass a law that anything intended to be disposable needs to be made with 100% biodegradable material. Selling refillable oil is obviously cleaner and cheaper to make.
This is just profit over planet.
Make it so that brands need to accept electronic devices back for free.

Can it run doom
Sure
Already the case in Germany, yet everyone still just throws them away out of convenience

Not enough dead billionaires.
It would need to be naturally biodegradable without leaving any kind of dangerous chemicals. A lot of so called biodegradable plastics can only actually be biodegraded in an industrial compostor.
Sounds like we need things that aren’t disposable
As is tradition
