Precious metal scraps

Discover how we transform industrial scrap and old jewellery into high-quality products, with responsibility and traceability.

At Argor-Heraeus, we combine innovation with environmental responsibility to deliver tailored recycling solutions for precious metal-bearing scraps. From industrial by-products to old jewellery and electronic waste, we recover valuable metals with maximum efficiency, safety, and minimal environmental impact—supporting a more circular and responsible supply chain. Today, approximately 20% of the metals we process come from recycled sources.

Material obtained from secondary sources like industrial scrap and old jewellery, is an important component of our raw material sources.

For the traceability of secondary materials, we follow the strictest industry standards, such as the RJC-CoC Standard. This includes physical segregation within our production processes to ensure traceability from the point of re-entering into the supply chain up to the end consumer product.
