RECYCLED PRECIOUS METALS

KiRiVOO uses 100% RECYCLED Argentium silver and gold for producing its fine jewellery and brand buttons. But why?

RECYCLED PRECIOUS METALS reduce the need for mining, conserve precious resources, and significantly lower CO2 emissions. By choosing recycled precious metals, you can be assured that our products are not only beautiful and safe to use but also increase in value over time, contribute to a more sustainable future.

RECYCLED SILVER REDUCES CO2 EMISSIONS, POLLUTION & ENERGY CONSUMPTION

THE BENEFITS OF RECYCLED SILVER

RECYCLED SILVER reduces the need for mining, which is resource-intensive and harmful to the environment. It conserves natural resources and reduces pollution associated with silver extraction.

Producing RECYCLED SILVER requires significantly less energy compared to extracting and refining new silver, helping to reduce the overall carbon footprint of the production and making recycled metals more sustainable choices for environmentally conscious consumers.

RECYCLED SILVER not only reduces environmental and social impacts compared to new gold mining, but it also supports a circular economy by transforming waste into valuable resources.

RECYCLED SILVER is more affordable to produce, meaning lower costs for consumers while still supporting sustainability.

By choosing RECYCLED SILVER, you can be sure that the products are not only beautiful and safe but also grow in value over time.

Using RECYCLED SILVER supports ethical practices by reducing the demand for newly mined metals and promoting a circular economy, where materials are reused and repurposed.

Our RECYCLED ARGENTIUM STERLING SILVER retains the same high quality and durability as newly mined silver. It’s resistant to tarnishing due to the addition of germanium, ensuring long-lasting beauty.

RECYCLED SILVER supports the following Sustainable Development Goals laid out by the United Nations in 2015:

  • GOAL 8: Helps foster sustainable economic practices and create green jobs within the circular economy
  • GOAL 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
  • GOAL 13: Supports climate action

RECYCLED SILVER contributes to reducing the adverse social and environmental impacts associated with conventional silver mining.

SUMMARY

RECYCLED PRECIOUS METALS reduce the need for mining, conserve valuable resources, and significantly lower CO2 emissions. In addition, they are timeless materials that grow in value over time.

THE BENEFITS OF RECYCLED GOLD

RECYCLED GOLD reduces the need for mining, which is resource-intensive and harmful to the environment.

Using RECYCLED GOLD helps mitigate the severe impacts of traditional gold extraction by reducing the need for new mining, which often involves toxic chemicals and significant energy use.

RECYCLED GOLD offers significant energy and carbon benefits compared to primary gold mining:

  • The process uses considerably less energy than mining, refining, and processing new gold. Some estimates suggest that producing recycled gold can use up to 95% less energy than traditional methods.
  • Because recycling requires less energy, it also results in far lower CO2 emissions. This means that recycled gold has a much smaller carbon footprint, contributing to climate change mitigation.

By reducing the need for energy-intensive mining, RECYCLED GOLD helps minimise environmental degradation and resource depletion, aligning with sustainable practices.

RECYCLED GOLD not only reduces environmental and social impacts compared to new gold mining, but it also supports a circular economy by transforming waste into valuable resources.

GOLD traditionally holds a higher intrinsic and cultural value, and recycled gold retains this value while also benefiting the environment.

RECYCLED GOLD supports the following Sustainable Development Goals laid out by the United Nations in 2015:

  • GOAL 8: Helps foster sustainable economic practices and create green jobs within the circular economy
  • GOAL 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
  • GOAL 13: Supports climate action

RECYCLED GOLD contributes to reducing the adverse social and environmental impacts associated with conventional gold mining.
