EU is a swindler and a scammer playground in a legislative sense.
I bought some UHU-pattex glue in EU... 23 grams of plastic and 10 grams of glue?????
Ok so what's the technical advantage of this 23g glue packaging:
It is single-use epoxy.
Because epoxy had a 20-year lifetime in the drawer? they invented a snap-off plug for epoxy glue?
Now you repair your destructo-tupperware and your ceramic and you throw the glue away because there is no cap, it is single use.
10 g of epoxy glue costs the factory about 5ç to produce and they are selling it for 3 euros to pay a big investment in plastic molding and design research, makes the glue intantly perished when used.
What other technical advances in that 23 grams of plastic other than downsizing and a snap-off lid that cannot be closed?
The extra plastic which is 10 grams is moulded on the sides of the tube to make it look wider, so buyers in hurry won't notice: the extra plastic nozzles which are ridiculously long are arranged on either side of the tube to make it look wider.
The quantity 10g (9 milliliters) is also hidden far away from the name of the glue and the company letters at the bottom left corner.
EU corpo government carnival?
Meanwhile I looked at the state of designed obsolescence law... You can still make TVs with five-year lifetimes as compared to my parents 28 years Hitachi and my 15 years 2005 24" LCD...and grand 60-year-working-perfectly-enameled-frigidaire.
So the efficiency ratings on all televisions today are falsified and you can double them to account for the waste.
That also goes for e-bikes ebike motor ecologies washing machines fridges which are all designed to break.
And we have 90 years of bottle design changed for old people with tethered caps, commissions by people in a restaurant, former erasmus agents that were served glass bottles on platters sponsored by Coca-Cola and Nestle and poured the bottles into glasses...
Then the bottle tops are recycled into destructo Tupperware which should really be made from bottle plastic... so we also have huge mountains of destructo tupperware in all the shops as well as self-destructing TVs and fridges and cars. Gr8.
