Subject: [TN] Reduce wastage

The Institute of Waste Reduction in Electronics in Germany have made a proposal to the EU that the next review of RoHS incorates a clause to ban all through-hole components. This is because the amount of solder and flux used is twice as much, compared with surface-mount components. 
They also propose re-introducing lead into solder pastes as they consider the easier wetting of 63/37 produces smaller fillets.
