EU brings product liability rules in line with digital age and circular economy

    Is the economy circular because we buy a thing that’s designed to break, it breaks, and we have to buy another thing to replace it which is also designed to break?

    Is it that circle…the one where the end user is screwed over? Must be that circle.
