Best you don't buy one then and save the rest for us
Hmm. Something of a logical fallacy there. More people is not the only possible outcome. What about rewilding, forestry, preservation of natural areas for tourism, carbon sequestration etc etc?
They are nice bottle cages. Unethical though. Cheap to you and me except that we'll all be paying their true cost in the long run.
Spot on. Animal welfare considerations do indeed come into almost all of my purchasing decisions.Perhaps. What I don't like is how you said "You need to..."
Perhaps you should start boycotting all the bicycle parts that are designed and manufactured by meateaters?
Because by buying all this stuff, aren't you enabling them?
Is that not because titanium recycling was a crazy expensive and very complex until around 2010 when VAM became the preferred method. it is still crazy expensive and very selective on what can be recycled thanks to oxide contaminated feed stocks (shit titanium is a thing, who knew). there isn't really a scalable process for decontamination which makes life pretty hard too.Durability is definitely an important characteristic that I take into account when purchasing something. It's mind boggling going to the tip and seeing things which only had about a 3 to 5 years in service life. Would be interesting to know the warranty period, and if they state anything about end of life treatment.
I've posted this elsewhere, at the time I was completely stunned that Europe did not possess a titanium recycling facility prior; relatively recent from about 2018. https://www.eib.org/en/stories/titanium-recycling
