Gold recycling
Gold recycling had a boom recently with the rise of gold prices and the global situation. There is not much information out there on how to recycle gold, so we prepared this guide to help you and to give you all the info you might need.
Is gold recyclable?
This might be the first question that comes to your mind. And the answer is yes, gold is 100% recyclable. In fact, all precious metals can be recycled, because they are noble metals and can be recovered multiple times without losing any of their properties.
Is it profitable to recycle gold?
To answer this, you need to know that there are two main sources of recyclable gold:
- The first one, high-value scrap gold, comes from jewelry, dental scrap, and gold coins. It represents 90% of the supply of recycled gold.
- The second is electronic and industrial scrap gold, which is harder to recover and the gold quality is lower, so the profitability is inferior.
If you have some scrap gold laying around, you can know the estimated price by using our scrap gold calculator. You just need to know the weight and its karat.
