Thing is, it's much cheaper and easier to "don't care" than to act the other way. Until governments are occupied with retaining and applying power (at least for 4-5 years) instead of 'governing', the industry and the circles pocketing the profits will do whatever they see fit.
We, the people will have to stop waiting for laws and legislations change – we have to act by ourselves to end this whole madness. And, frankly, we don't have to start with HP inks and laminates. Start with excessive plastic usage (a current EU program). Reject all plastic which don't have a usage longer than a week. Use paper, textile for bags and package. Buy quality products which last longer instead of buying something new each week. And so on.
