RECYCLED GOLD
GENANVENDELIGT GULD
Det guld , som du køber hos Aktiv Guld , er genbrugsguld .
Vi samarbejder med anerkendte europæiske samarbejdspartnere , der gennem LBMA-certificering ( The London Bullion Market Association ) og RJC ( Responsible Jewellery Council ) garanterer en overholdelse af miljømæssige og etiske retningslinjer .
I dag udvindes der guld i mere end 90 lande . Uanset hvilken metode , der bruges , er det et slidsomt og krævende arbejde , ofte udført under kummerlige forhold . Udvindingen af guld kan også have store konsekvenser for miljøet , i form af fældning af skov og regnskov , erosion af jordlag , samt forurening af vand og vandløb . I dele af verden bruges også giftige kemikalier og tungmetaller som kviksølv i udvindingen . Det påvirker både mennesker og dyr , fordi det skader kroppens centralnervesystem og hjernen .
I takt med den teknologiske udvikling er udvindingsmetoderne mange steder under forbedring , men hos Aktiv Guld foretrækker vi stadig at forhandle guld , der er genbrugt . Det kan vi gøre , fordi mange smykker bliver solgt og sendt til affinering . Det vil sige , at guldet renses og ender som rent guld , der så sendes tilbage i kredsløb .
Vi opfordrer alle til at sætte deres gamle guld i cirkulation , og derved også være med til at passe på naturens ressourcer gennem bæredygtig genanvendelse .
RECYCLED GOLD
The gold that you buy from Aktiv Guld is recycled gold . We collaborate with recognised European partners which through LBMA certification ( The London Bullion Market Association ) and RJC ( Responsible Jewellery Council ) are able to guarantee that environmental and ethical guidelines are complied with .
Today gold is recovered in more than 90 countries . Regardless of which method is used , it ’ s toilsome and demanding work often performed in wretched conditions . The recovery of gold can also have great consequences for the environment , the most harmful of which are the felling of forest and rainforest , the erosion of topsoil and the pollution of water and watercourses . In some parts of the world , gold continues to be extracted using toxic chemicals and heavy metals such as mercury , which is harmful to humans and animals , as it damages the brain and the body ’ s central nervous system .
As new technology is developed , extraction methods are improving in many areas , but at Aktiv Guld we still prefer buying and selling gold that has been recycled . We can do this because many items of jewellery are sold and sent for refining , i . e . the gold is cleaned and ends up as pure gold , which is then put back into circulation .
We encourage everyone to put their old gold into circulation , thus helping to protect nature ’ s resources through sustainable recycling .
