How green is your gold? As with many metals, gold comes at a price beyond the one you pay\u00a0to\u00a0vendors. That price is also environmental, but the yellow metal can actually be produced in a greener way, so long as we keep recycling it more often.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming around again\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the World Gold Council,\u00a028 per cent of the world\u2019s gold supply<\/a>\u00a0was sourced from recycling, equivalent to\u00a0almost\u00a01,300 tonnes in 2020.\u00a0As overall production of gold fell by four per cent but recycled gold supplies grew by one per cent, the latter managed to increase its share of the overall gold supply last year, boosting the prominence of recycled gold overall.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The increase in recycled gold supplies came amidst\u00a0gold prices<\/a>\u00a0being\u00a0at all-time highs in 2020, meaning more gold changing hands which wasn\u2019t straight out of the mines. Gold benefits from being an easily-recyclable precious metal and generations have perfected ways of melting it down and finding a better use for gold in the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With only so much gold going around and mining having a detrimental impact on our environment, it only makes sense to make do with what we already have.\u00a0One paper suggested that buying gold from a recycling facility operating to a high standard with reliable material origins would be considered\u00a0300 times better for the planet<\/a>\u00a0than sourcing gold through primary production alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going for gold\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tokyo Olympics this summer highlight just how gold can be recycled from right under our noses, with medals made from gold sourced from discarded smartphones. No matter what shape or size your scrap gold might come in, there\u2019s always potential for it to be sold and recycled into something new and exciting for a future buyer down the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold is like a chameleon of the precious\u00a0metals\u00a0world, changing to match the requirements of any given environment. With early uses for coinage and jewellery, gold is also often found in the form of bars or coins. What new form could your scrap gold take when it\u2019s sold and melted down this time?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you sell with Cash for Your Gold, you could make \u00a315.20 from just one gram of 9-carat gold, reflecting how gold is highly\u00a0treasured at present, despite prices having peaked last summer.
