Sustainability

Help to save our environment

“The most patriotic thing you can do is to take care of the environment and try to live sustainably.” – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Golden Green’s clear objective is enhancing sustainability. We do this by actively promoting the recyclability of your unwanted gold and silver jewellery. This therefore enables gold and silver to be recycled back into the various industries which may in turn help reduce the overall need to mine for these metals and help minimise the production of toxic waste.

Uncontrolled mining pollution has a literal ripple effect. Mine waste, heavy metals and acidic water often end up in streams and rivers. Mining has polluted the headwaters of more than 40 percent of Western watersheds, according to the EPA. In 2017, metals mines generated nearly 2 billion pounds of toxic waste.
