Clean tech start up to introduce new technology to the The Royal Mint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Royal Mint has signed an agreement with Canadian clean tech start up Excir to introduce a world first technology to the UK, which will enable it to safely retrieve and recycle gold and other precious metals from electronic waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many old unwanted electricals contain precious metals, including gold, that can be recycled and made into new products. Use of recycled metals has a lower environmental impact than mining virgin materials. Read the full BBC article here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
