Is recycled gold a good alternative to dirty gold ?
If you are a jeweler, you and your customers can feel good about re-using gold they have mined from drawers of old, broken and unloved jewelry. You have the ability to transform their gold into something they will treasure. Purchasing recycled gold, however, is not quite the same thing. Gold is and always has been recycled. Nobody throws away gold! Using recycled gold will not result in less or better mining. Gold mining is not affected by recycling because recycled gold is a given.
