Royal Mint starts extracting gold from old phones and TVs to make commemorative coins and jewellery in 'world first'

The UK's coinmaker has opened a factory in South Wales which will be processing up to 4,000 tonnes of printed circuit boards from e-waste every year.
王立造幣局は、「世界初」と稱賛される動きとして、記念コインや寶飾品に使用するために古い電話やテレビから金の抽出を開始しました。英國のコインメーカーは、毎年最大4,000トンの電子廃棄物からプリント基板を処理する工場を南ウェールズに開設した。
この動きは、採掘による環(huán)境への影響を軽減し、コインやその他の貴金屬アイテムの生産においてより持続可能な材料を使用する取り組みの一環(huán)です。英國王立造幣局によると、英國では毎年一人當たり約 25 キロの電子廃棄物が排出されており、これは 50 インチのテレビの重量に相當します。
工場では、回路基板から金、銀、パラジウム、ロジウムが抽出され、それらはさまざまなコイン、メダル、寶石の製造に使用されます。造幣局によると、886 コレクションのリングを 1 つ作成するには約 600 臺の攜帯電話が必要で、その重さは約 7.5 グラムで、1 ポンド硬貨の重さに匹敵します。
平均して、1 トンの回路基板から 165 グラムの金が生産され、これは現(xiàn)在約 9,000 ポンドの価値があります。造幣局は、新工場により約40人の雇用が創(chuàng)出され、年間最大1,000萬ポンドの収益が見込まれると述べた。
王立造幣局が製品にリサイクル金を使用する動きは、持続可能性と採掘による環(huán)境への影響の削減を目指す貴金屬業(yè)界の幅広いトレンドの一環(huán)です。近年、いくつかの大手寶飾品ブランドや貴金屬精錬會社が、自社の製品にリサイクルされた金やその他の素材をより多く使用する取り組みを発表しました。
