The top 5 accounted for ~70% of the items.
260 million disposable vapes
30 million LED, solar and decorative lights
26 million cables
10 million USB sticks
7 million cordless headphones
Maybe USB-C helps with the cables, I’m guessing many of those are failed cables though. In any case, I don’t think it will address disposable vapes or decorative lights.
Anyway, I dispute the 95% of gadgets number. I don’t think we can be too surprised disposable vapes ended up in the trash.
- seanp2k2 3y ago"disposable vapes" packs so much rage-worthy substance into so few characters. I really hope they ban the sale of these types of devices soon.
- eternityforest 3y agoDisposable vapes are almost their own category. Like, wow, that's insane. It has nothing to do with durability or upgradability, people just.. like disposable ones. Maybe it's the reduced sense of commitment. If you buy a reusable you're saying "Yep, I'm gonna be vaping long enough to justify this" and that might not be a nice thought for many users.
