Lead free solder - exposed in a UK national newspaper
Is a lead-free item that fails and ends up in the landfill
after 2 years better than a lead-containing device that
lasts a decade?
And is then properly recycled?
Recycling is the issue. The only current economical way to do it is to ship
the equipment to third-world countries where poverty-stricken can dismantle
it.
