BUSINESS
According to their statistics, about US$57 billion worth of precious metals are contained within electronic waste, with less than 20% currently being recycled world-wide. 886 by The Royal Mint works with the Betts Metals Group and Excir to recover gold and silver from these discarded materials, alongside used x-ray films from medical equipment, to ensure that nothing goes to waste. These materials are then used to craft beautiful jewellery covered by a lifetime guarantee. Although the majority of their pieces are purely metal, they also feature jewellery using lab-grown diamonds, a less-polluting and more ethical alternative to mined stones.
