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

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

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

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.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
