33 metric tons of CO2 is the amount of CO2 emitted by a passenger car travelling 305,000 km. And it’s the potential for lowering the CO2 footprint of your product, if you go for one kilogram of #recycled precious metals. Under the name Circlear, Heraeus Precious Metals now offers products made of 100% recycled precious metals. Recycled precious metals have the same high quality and purity as mining material, but their carbon footprint is up to 98% lower. Leveraging recycling is a crucial building block in the #decarbonization of the precious metals value chain. The new offering significantly increases transparency for our customers and helps them to make progress towards their #sustainability goals. #platinum #palladium #iridium #rhodium #ruthenium #gold #silver

9moIt is striking that recycled precious metals have such a dramatically better CO2 footprint even though some energy needs to be used for the recycling process itself!
