Well for most of us €30 (the cheapest I found here in france) for a tablet makes it a disposable device (this is different in developping countries).<p>There is a recycling tax here that is as low as ~5 cts for a tablet or a comparable electronic device. The burden of recycling is on the developping countries we send our used gear to. Not to mention the use of raw materials.<p>Can&#x27;t say that this does not apply to higher end device that tend to be unrepairable but their lifespan is longer.
