There is both good and bad in a quick product cycle.
The bad, if done wrong, you get poor recycling of input materials. If done right, you get iteratively better more environmentally friendly products.
We would not want to be using inefficient air conditioners, washers, dryers, refrigerators, water heaters, etc. from yen years ago. They are simply inefficient compared to a new model. The problem is in recycling the displaced products.
