Petition Action

End Planned obsolescence in products to help combat climate change & end waste.

Petition Details

Planned obsolescence forces us to buy goods more than is really necessary or achievable, contributing to the use of limited resources which increase carbon emissions & therefore climate change, puts profit before planet & increases wasteful attitudes in society as we are not given a true choice.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take to end planned obsolescence.

You could start a new petition setting out clearly the action you would like the Government or Parliament to take. For example, you could call for a law requiring manufacturers to state how long their products are expected to work for on the packaging if that is something you would like to see happen.
