Making the Most Out of Your Scrap Metal Jewellery

What is Metal Recycling?

Metal recycling involves collecting scrap metal, processing it, and creating new metal materials. These recycled metals can be used to manufacture new metal products, which can be recycled again once they are no longer needed.

Benefits of Recycling Your Precious Metal

• Revenue generation – You can sell your unwanted precious metal and receive money back based on its value
• Contributes to sustainability – Recycling metals reduces the need for mining, conserving natural resources
• Waste reduction – Recycling metal reduces waste, minimising the environmental footprint of jewellery making
• Declutters workspace – Scrapping your precious metal will help you clear out all of the unwanted pieces, leaving you more space to create more jewellery
