Jewelry recycling
Jewelry scrap is the largest recycled-gold category. Recycling flows rise sharply when gold price spikes, especially in price-sensitive consumer markets.
Precious metals intelligence
Recycled Gold Supply
Recycled gold accounts for roughly a quarter to a third of total annual gold supply. The flow is price-elastic in ways mined supply is not.
Electronics and industrial
Electronics carry small amounts of gold per unit but very high collective volume. Recovery economics depend on processing technology and gold price.
Supply elasticity
Mined supply takes years to adjust. Recycled supply can respond within months. That asymmetry tends to dampen gold rallies as recycling flows accelerate at higher prices.
