The cycle of "clothes" in nature. Now it has become a disaster for the earth.
I remember my childhood. My father bought a Moskvich-412 car. Joy knew no bounds. There was a queue for the cars. And it was necessary to follow her into the city.
But this car has served for thirty years! And if my brother hadn't crashed the car in an accident, she would have served more.
But why is it now maximum 5 years - and the car needs to be changed? Because this is the policy of modern business. It is not profitable for manufacturers to make high-quality and durable goods. And the result is that the number of landfills is growing exponentially!
Marketers explain: there is a product life cycle, and it is calculated in such a way as to enable the manufacturer to constantly make money. Imagine if you bought a product that will last you forever. And before that it was when even clothes were inherited in grandmother's chests. Would you buy a new car, a new phone, a new closet?
Repairing is useless. So - to buy new.
All Western business is based on this. And ours? There is no information about ours. But, I think, what's the difference where the business is pumping out profits. After all, our domestic equipment now breaks down just as quickly.
So it turns out that the worse the quality, the better the manufacturer. The market dictates the terms. And the quality of modern goods has become so low that they often become life-threatening.

For example, telephones explode, washing machines, televisions explode … And what about cars? They crumple like cardboard boxes from a weak blow!
Or maybe you just need to fix the stale equipment on time? But in any service center you will be told that now it is easier to buy new equipment than to fix the old one. Because repairs will result in a tidy sum, often exceeding the cost of the goods.
I recently had my own experience of such a desire to fix a thing. A lightweight T-shirt, which costs 300 rubles at most, was intended for housework in the summer heat. I bought it and that evening tore the bottom with a nail. But the T-shirt is new! I didn't have a sewing machine, and I had to run to work in the morning, and other things in the evening …
A sewing workshop has opened nearby. In the morning I grabbed a T-shirt on the run and on the way to work, brought it into the workshop - to cut it shorter.
In the evening, from work, I went to get my thing and was shocked: they took 300 rubles from me for hemming! Imagine my bewilderment! I would haze to buy a new T-shirt.
According to experts, this is the real reason for the self-destruction of technology. The service life set by the manufacturers simply expires. Smartphones, irons, and steamers, everything is done so that they are out of order in a maximum of five years.
It seems incredible, but in the largest companies there are even departments that program breakdowns. So that the equipment will probably break down after a certain time.
So it turns out that shoes, houses, clothes, equipment are all disposable. And we have to buy … buy … buy …
