I believe anything don't cost by itself, I mean money and prices are a man-made concept englobed into economy, so I believe making cheap stuff and making expensive stuff are just two concepts englobed into capitalism.

My point would be, to get rid of e-waste we don't need eco-friendly corporations, we need to get rid of the mayor problem which it's capitalism by itself and it's consumerism practices.

Yeah, in a better world where the people have control of the means of production, we wouldn't care at all about financial return when making something. We'd make it to work well and to last and to be repairable, just like current open source hardware is. We'd make it for us.
