Listen "Rev 2.4 - Stan Rothschild"
Episode Synopsis
From waste to wealth behind the scenes of metal reclaiming.
Ever wondered how discarded solder dross transforms into high-purity metal? Tune in for the secrets!
Stan's known as the "solder guru" for good reason he's been deep in the trenches of solder recycling and reclaiming for over two decades.
We talked about how his family business was doing sustainable recycling long before it was trendy, turning solder dross and scrap paste. Stuff most people would think was trash into pure, usable metal. He shared some surprising details on how shifting from tin-lead to lead-free solder has complicated recycling and even taught us a few things about why copper buildup affects solder performance on selective solder machines.
If you're into PCB manufacturing, PCB Assembly, solder technology, or just enjoy turning waste into something valuable, you'll want to check this one out.
Big thanks to Stanley Rothschild from Metallic Resources, Inc. for the chat!
