Werner,
It's not supposed to be, anyway.

Hi Mike,
On the other hand, not all electronics is of the 'throw-away'
'replace-with-the-latest' variety.

I'm not so sure that the so-called environmental push and electronics
obsolescence are so highly correlated.
In other words, , regardless of any environmental component, consumers
(and businesses) would be trashing electronics quickly because OEMs
continue to tighten development cycles. Little Bobby buys the latest
iPhone because he wants the latest iPhone, not because the old one
stopped working (or because it is now lead-free).

This just boggles the mind:
"most electronics has a useful life of 3 years".
How in the world can anyone be so shortsighted to not understand that a
supposed envirionmental improvement has led to tons of extra chemical
waste?
But perhaps the lead-free fiasco might finally be the one that becomes
so blatantly outrageous that we learn our lesson? Though I'm afraid the
admissions we would need to make about the Quixotic nature of
controllong the earths temperature probably preclude any rational
approach to environmental regulation for many years to come. And
there's too much fame and fortune to be gained by the ones driving all
of this to allow it to be effective.
