The Environmental Case for Gold-Plated Scrap Recycling

Mining one ounce of gold requires moving tons of earth, consuming massive amounts of water, and using chemicals like cyanide and mercury. This process leaves behind toxic tailings, contributes to deforestation, and pollutes water systems.

In contrast, recycling gold from used materials is:

• Far more efficient (recovery from e-waste yields ~100x more gold than mining the same volume of ore)

• Less polluting (no large-scale tailing or chemical runoff)

• More economical (lower processing costs, especially for high-grade industrial scraps)

At Dingfeng Precious Metals, we believe the future of the gold industry lies in urban mining — recovering precious metals from existing waste streams. We use sustainable and closed-loop refining systems that minimize emissions, reduce chemical use, and ensure safe waste management.

We work with:

• Environmental recycling companies

• Government e-waste programs

• Green-certified industries and manufacturers

By choosing to recycle gold-plated scraps through Dingfeng, you're not only gaining financial return — you're supporting a cleaner, more responsible world.

We proudly serve as both a precious metals recycler and a sustainability partner. Let’s build a greener future, one scrap at a time.
