HS10 Fair by FairLötet and Stannol is the first fair solder wire that has been designed for social sustainability. Current tin mining practices with their life-threatening working conditions are not fostered, because recycled materials are employed.
Why is there a need for action regarding tin-solder?
Regarding the soldered joints of electronic devices, tin makes up for the largest weight proportion. It is essential for production, repair, prototyping and handicrafts. Most producers of tin-solder prefer tin that is the product of the first smelter. The resulting supply chain includes mining sites that extract tin under conditions highly hazardous to man and the environment.
