Post-Consumer Recycled Gold Grain - 999.9 ‰ - 24 kt

Our casting grain is made from 100% post-consumer recycled gold, refined to a purity of 999.9 ‰ and 24 karats. Every lot is processed in strictly segregated batches to guarantee full transparency and traceability throughout the refining process.

Unlike many recycled products on the market, this gold contains no pre-consumer manufacturing scrap and no remelted bullion or investment products. It is sourced exclusively from end-of-life jewellery, watches, dental alloys, electronics, and industrial residues.

This makes our grain a true circular material, extending the life of precious metals already in circulation and reducing the pressure on newly mined resources. Independent assays confirm the purity of every batch. RJC Chain of Custody certification is currently in preparation.

Our post-consumer recycled gold grain is a refined granulate with approximately a mixed grain size of 0.2 - 4 mm. It is ideally suitable for jewelers, goldsmiths, and manufacturers for smelting, alloying, and casting and, ultimately, for the production of semi-finished products and finished jewelry. 

The granules are produced after melting when the fine liquid gold or silver drips through a hot sieve into the water and solidifies into small spheres. The resulting gold or silver pellets look like small nuggets from the gold digger era. Goldsmiths and jewelry manufacturers can easily weigh out the required amount of fine gold or fine silver and add it to alloys to produce semi-finished products.  

Most frequently asked questions about Fairmined Gold Grain.

It refers to gold recovered from end-of-life products such as jewellery, watches, dental alloys, electronics, and industrial residues. It does not include factory scrap or bullion remelt.

Our gold is refined in segregated batches according to RJC requirements. Full RJC Chain of Custody certification is in preparation. Every lot is independently assayed to 999.9 ‰ purity.

Why choose post-consumer over just recycled gold?​

Because conventional recycled gold may contain newly mined gold that never reached a customer. Post-consumer ensures true circularity, reduces pressure on mining, and avoids risks of opaque or illegal supply chains.

Our pricing of the post-consumer recycled gold consists of 2 components:

  1. Current Gold Market Price
  2. Premium

1. Current Gold Market Price

The gold market price, also known as the spot price, represents the current value of gold per ounce traded in the global market. It is influenced by various factors including supply and demand dynamics, economic indicators, geopolitical tensions, and investor sentiment. The spot price serves as a benchmark for pricing gold-related products and is continuously fluctuating based on market conditions.

2. Premium

The premium includes the costs associated with logistics, production, distribution, and marketing, as well as the additional costs that come along with trading separately refined gold products, such as auditing costs and separate administration. Ultimately, the premium reflects the higher production costs due to the small amounts of responsible and traceable gold products in the market relative to conventional gold products.

Sourcing responsibly usually comes with a lot of questions.

Es handelt sich um Gold, das aus End-of-Life-Produkten zurückgewonnen wird, z. B. Schmuck, Uhren, Dentallegierungen, Elektronik oder industrielle Rückstände. Fabrikabfälle oder Bullion-Umschmelzungen sind ausgeschlossen.

Unser Gold wird in chargengetrennten Verfahren nach RJC-Vorgaben raffiniert. Die vollständige RJC Chain-of-Custody-Zertifizierung ist in Vorbereitung. Jede Charge wird unabhängig auf 999,9 ‰ Feinheit geprüft.

Weil konventionell gehandeltes Recyclinggold auch frisch gefördertes Gold enthalten kann, das nie einen Kunden erreicht hat. Post-consumer sorgt für echten Kreislauf, reduziert den Druck auf den Bergbau und vermeidet Risiken in undurchsichtigen oder illegalen Lieferketten.

Fairmined-Lizenznehmerregistrierung 

Unsere Preisgestaltung für das Post-consumer Recyclinggold besteht aus 2 Komponenten: 

  1. Aktueller Goldmarktpreis 
  2. Marktübliche Prämie 
  3. Fairmined Prämie

 

  1. Aktueller Goldmarktpreis 
    Der Goldmarktpreis, auch Spotpreis genannt, stellt den aktuellen Wert des auf dem Weltmarkt gehandelten Goldes pro Unze dar. Verschiedene Faktoren beeinflussen ihn, darunter die Angebots- und Nachfragedynamik, Wirtschaftsindikatoren, geopolitische Spannungen und die Anlegerstimmung. Der Spotpreis dient als Benchmark für die Preisgestaltung goldbezogener Produkte und schwankt kontinuierlich je nach Marktbedingungen. 

  2. Marktübliche Prämie 
    Die marktübliche Prämie umfasst die mit Logistik, Produktion von Feingold, Herstellung von Halbzeugen, Vertrieb und Marketing verbundenen Kosten sowie die mit dem Handel mit verantwortungsvoll produzierten Goldprodukten verbundenen Zusatzkosten, wie z. B. Prüfungskosten und separate Verwaltung. Letztendlich spiegelt die Prämie die höheren Produktionskosten wider, die auf die geringe Anzahl von verantwortungsvoll produzierten Goldprodukten auf dem Markt im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Goldprodukten zurückzuführen sind. 

Eine verantwortungsbewusste Beschaffung wirft in der Regel eine Menge Fragen auf.

About Post-Consumer Sourcing

Post-consumer recycled gold is recovered from products that have completed their first life in the hands of end-users. This includes jewellery, watches, dental alloys, electronics, and industrial residues.

Unlike pre-consumer factory scrap or bullion remelt, post-consumer gold:

  • ensures true circularity by extending the life of existing gold,
  • reduces pressure on newly mined resources, and
  • avoids risks from opaque or illegal supply chains.

Every batch is refined to 999.9 purity and independently assayed before re-entering the market.

Our recycled gold is refined by Stephen Betts & Sons (UK) — a family-owned business operating since 1760 and one of the oldest precious metal refiners in Europe.

Betts is independently audited to Fairmined and Fairtrade standards and is known for its strict environmental and ethical practices. Every lot of post-consumer feedstock is melted, purified, and assayed to 999.9 ‰ fine gold before entering the market as casting grain or bar.

  • Investment in organizational and social development and environmental protectionFairmined

The Fairmined initiative was founded by the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM), an international non-governmental organization that is regarded as a pioneer and leading organization in the field of responsible artisanal & small-scale gold mining since its foundation in 2004. ARM supports this form of mining to make it a legal, organized, and profitable activity that uses efficient technologies and is socially and environmentally responsible. To achieve the goal of responsible mining, the Fairmined Initiative works with all relevant stakeholders throughout the supply chain: From artisanal mines to legislators, manufacturers, jewelers, and consumers. This stakeholder forum is the largest in this area and represents the various perspectives of the respective groups in a joint program. 

 The Fairmined website provides detailed information about ARM's work, the Fairmined Standard, and its benefits for artisanal and small-scale mining organizations.
