How do we get companies to become profitable for creating a few good things that last a long time instead of wasting resources on low quality things that last a short time and are then thrown out?

Have a system in place where if something is resold by the original buyer, the manufacturing company gets money. The longer sometihng lasts, or is exchanged, the longer the manufacturer gets paid for making a good product. Or everything can be recycled (having deposits on everything). When something is not usable anymore, it is recycled. This option though would reduce the amount of surplus things and increase prices.
