'Reduced' implies manufacturing changes. What if, once the product is reduced, it still can't be reused/recycled?
What if the intended life of a product is 50 years maintenance-free after which it's landfill? Can't be reused, can't be refurbed, can't be recycled - but it's still generally a good use of resources.
In many products, there's a repair-reliability tradeoff. If you pot it, you can't repair failures, but you'll reduce the failure rate by >90%. Repair shops hate it because the ones they see can't be fixed, but they' don't see all the 'easy repairs' that never needed doing in the first place.
