Royal Mint Tackles E-Waste Crisis with Sustainable Gold Recovery Facility The Royal Mint, the UK’s official coin maker, has launched a groundbreaking initiative to extract gold from electronic waste at its new facility in Llantrisant, Wales. Using an innovative, eco-friendly chemical process, the plant can process up to 4,000 tonnes of e-waste annually, potentially yielding 450kg of gold worth approximately £27 million. This venture not only addresses the growing global e-waste problem but also helps the Royal Mint diversify its operations in response to declining cash usage. The extracted gold will be used in jewelry production and eventually in commemorative coins, demonstrating a sustainable approach to precious metal sourcing while preserving jobs and reducing reliance on traditional mining methods. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts ECB Rate Cut Hopes Diminish Amid Strong Economic Data READ MORE Recession Predicted for 2024 by Economist Cam Harvey READ MORE Javier Milei's Budget Miracle: Libertarian Principles in Action!
