agreed, and add to this that you can only buy what you need, I mean, the low 
shelf life of parts means if you buy too many of something and don't use 
them, they will be useless, so you'll throw them in the bin.

Also, another point, bare in mind that the problems associated with disposal 
are being passed onto the manufacturer.

> Apart from lead-free the business must also ensure proper recycling.

yep, its a pain in the arse.

> Small businesses will have plenty of fun with those new laws.

nope, a lot of small business will simply go bust or close.
Its just not worth the hassle anymore.
