It's entirely possible that the extra material required to make items that can be repaired, wastes more material than making objects that are "disposable"
Modern manufactured goods have -huge- volumes (there are a lot of people on this planet) and low failure rates.
If serviceability takes more material, it will probably be more waste, than otherwise.
