    Would love someone to do a proper analysis on this. Is it ‘better’ if the item is recycled but so poorly made it gets thrown out sooner, or is it better to have a good quality item that lasts longer. My instinct say better quality stuff, because there is no additional cost of disposal, collection, recycling, manufacture, distribution. Using the stuff we already own for longer is the most environmentally friendly option.
