Some companies do not bundle chargers for reducing e-waste. However, when a consumer ends up buying the charger, the charger comes in a separate box (of e-com companies) and its branded box. Doesn’t this additional packing increase waste, if not disposed off responsibly ? Had the charger been provided along with the phone, then this extra purchase could have been avoided. Actually, what should be addressed is “Responsible disposal of e-waste and packing materials waste”. Maybe the companies can (as a part of CSR initiatives) build centres to dispose these materials and in return the customer can be provided a discount coupon as an incentive ? Maybe a draw of lots ? What say ? Humans are motivated to do certain things through Incentivization.
