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.
