Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
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.
This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.
The focus of our discussions is based around things that effect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.
