I doubt its even environmentally/economically sustainable for a whole crowd of millions to just buy burners to discard after every protest. Too much ewaste. Is there a strategy that everyone can use without generating too much ewaste?

Not necessarily. If you are connecting to or available for connecting to Bluetooth for example, this can be used to track you, even if you never actually connect.
It’s effectively the same principle as how air tags work. Before a device actually connects it needs to be shown it can connect. So even without connecting you can be visible.
Then there are private companies aggregating and processing these data. It’s about 30k a month for API access, but with some clever geofencing, you can practically track individuals.
Short answer: hear what’s being said. The only true failsafe is no device at all.
That being said, it may not be practical, so follow good practices.
