Understanding Gold Recycling and How AU Bullion Pays Top Dollar for Your Old Gold

One major trend in the jewelry industry is gold recycling in an environmentally conscious and sustainable world.

That does not just provide a sustainable solution to the supply of this very valuable metal but also provides an opportunity for individuals wanting to turn their old, unused gold items into liquid cash. So, what exactly is gold recycling, and why should you go for it? Let’s jump into the details and learn how AU Bullion makes the activity profitable for you.

What is Gold Recycling?

Gold recycling is extracting old or unused jewelry, coins, etc., and recovering gold from them. The recovered gold can be refined and used again, which saves on the necessity of new mining. Fundamentally, steps in the process include:

  • Collection: Gold items are collected from various sources, including individuals, businesses, and industrial scraps.
  • Sorting and Grading: The gold is sorted based on purity, whether it’s yellow gold, white gold, or even gold-plated items.
  • Smelting and Refining: The recovered gold is then smelted back into its pure form by eliminating the impurities.
  • Reallocation: The pure gold is further utilized in new jewelry, coins, or something else, so the process is reinvested in a circle.
