Why recycling gold matters
Newly mined gold carries a heavy environmental cost. Producing the gold for a single wedding ring generates roughly 20 tonnes of waste, along with significant water and energy use. Gold that already exists, sitting unused in drawers and jewellery boxes, can be refined and reused indefinitely without any of that, so recycling it directly reduces demand for new mining.
Choosing to recycle also does some good beyond your payment: we donate a proportion of our net profit to environmental charities. So you turn unused gold into cash while keeping perfectly good precious metal in circulation.
