planned ob·so·les·cence
ˌpland ˌäbsəˈlesəns/
noun
- A policy of producing consumer goods that rapidly become obsolete and so require replacing, achieved by frequent changes in design, termination of the supply of spare parts, and the use of nondurable materials.
"Planned obsolescence is a common practice in product design; for example, in the computer industry. From a business point of view, it makes sense to deliberately shorten the life cycle of a product — think of your smartphone - to stimulate consumption. From a sustainability perspective, such a business strategy is obscene and should be banned. "
Professor Klaus Bosselmann, The University of Auckland
" unlike automobiles, Steinways don't have annual model changes. Former CEO Peter Perez reportedly said that the most serious competition he faced came from vintage Steinway grands, which sometimes command four times more than their original retail prices.""

"In a time when ecological crisis is about to turn into a catastrophe for Planet Earth and all living creatures, humankind is desperately seeking solutions and the discussion about our way of life and bad habits have become crucial. In such a complex society as the one we live in, mostly based on capital circulation nourished by induced irrational consumption, planned obsolescence, as a main instrument to perpetuate the unsustainable 'status quo', is right in the heart of this urgent discussion towards sustainability. This is what this book is about: questioning these bad habits that sustain consumer society; explaining why they are poisoning the environment and killing the life on the Planet; proposing new standards of human behaviour; pointing to sustainability through an 'Ecological Economics', that Green or even the most recent concept of Circular Economy does not fit yet, because it is still based on 'Environmental Neoclassical Economics'; creating a 'new paradigm' and a 'revolutionary reform'. As the author concludes, this book intends 'to show the possibility of concrete action that works towards socio-environmentally responsible productive behaviour, especially about durability of goods'.

"As we saw in the first chapter, the majority of today's societies can be described as consumer societies, the main driver of which is, obviously, consumerism; this is generated by manipulation of the behavioural patterns of individuals to get them to consume increasingly superfluous products in ever greater amounts and at ever greater speed. This type of society, with its values of abundance and wastage, has not come about by chance. As well as being the result of an extremely predatory anthropocentric perspective, which has distanced humans from the natural cycles of recovery and resilience, it was forged to succeed the society of producers and to maintain an economic model based on the idea of infinite growth."
