Problem in a capitalist society is incentive : most companies are just willing to sell more.
We could for example have a renting system for most appliances : oven, fridge...
The incentive will then be to have durable things and quality, so the customer keeps paying and the maker doesn't have any repair to do.
Also, right to repair should be mandatory with a steady supply for replacement pieces.
Standardisation for phone batteries, chargers, should also be a thing.
