>We want to repair the stuff we own, so we can use it for longer. This is not only important because we want our money’s worth out of the things we paid for, but because manufacturing new products is a huge and underestimated driver of climate change. So if we want to avoid cooking our planet, we need to stop churning out disposable electronics and start repairing more. Like, right now.

This actually is a novel idea to reduce the ecological impact of non bio degradable products. Having a rating standard like this would definitely impact consumer choices and decisions and could also steer technological innovation in a direction where they will need to honour such standards. This could also mean a short term resistance by firms and early challenges like reduced quality but in the long run will have more positive impact.
