The Lead Free Brass Initiative is an important programme to pro-actively move towards a sustainable low-lead brass alloy industry in Europe. The initiative has led to the development of a Roadmap to outline how the industry will move towards a low-lead alloy future. The Roadmap suggests that by starting NOW then by 2035 the lead content in brass alloys could be reduced by more than 70%.
The programme is designed, funded and driven by industry itself and was set up and is managed by the International Wrought Copper Council.
