ISO 9001:2000  ISO 14001:2004 IAER Certified Electronics Recycler  Gold Recycling Facts An estimated 137,000 tons of Au have been mined from historic times to (Mining dates back to 4000 BC) Approximately 85% of all of the gold ever mined is either in use or museums. Approximately 1/3 of the annual usage of gold is from recycled sources. The bulk of recycled Au is refined in Europe and Canada.

ISO 9001:2000  ISO 14001:2004 IAER Certified Electronics Recycler  Copper Recycling Facts An estimated 350 billion tons of Cu have been mined from historic times to (Mining dates back to 4000 BC) Approximately 90% of all of the copper ever mined is still in circulation. Approximately 37% of the annual usage of Cu is from recycled sources. Recycled Cu is refined world-wide.

ISO 9001:2000  ISO 14001:2004 IAER Certified Electronics Recycler  E-Scrap Recycling Why Recycle? Saves energy Scrap “secondary materials” important feed material –Energy savings – especially in the metals industry Saves the environment Sustainability – –Scrap metal replaces mined materials – Scrap paper replaces trees –Scrap plastic decreases our dependence on foreign oil »Plastic made from petroleum It’s the right thing to do.
