Hi all,
This time it seems as the article is not so old as the one I used some
weeks ago.
Now, the Lead amount and recycling efficiency is little different, but
still disadvantageous compared to Tin, Copper, Gold and others. Still, I
can't understand how one can recycle 70% of the Tin from the soldered
boards, while only 5% of the Lead, in one and the same recycling
process.

According to the below link, the (general) Lead recycling efficiency is
95% !!

Do the green organisations present statistics? I still doubt....
