Precious metal recycling
Precious metals undergo a wide range of different processes during the fabrication of jewellery and watches, in dental technology and in modern industrial applications.
This produces scrap metal and waste materials in almost all cases. Given the high value of precious metal, reprocessing of these materials is absolutely essential. C.HAFNER has been recycling since 1850, combining high levels of experience and expertise with maximum efficiency in terms of its process technology.

Precious metal recycling
Precious metal recycling in a closed loop
Precious metal waste, i.e. refinery scrap and sweepings, is first tested by C.HAFNER in a complex technical process for their precious metal content. Next, the old gold is melted down and processed into fine gold through a chemical process. The fine gold obtained is then further processed into precious metal products such as semi-finished products, ingots and other preliminary products before going on sale. At the end of its useful life, which is often decades or more, the precious metal product returns to the cycle as old gold.

Modern recycling system
Given that most of the refining processes used here involve chemicals, precious metal recycling entails a particularly high level of responsibility vis-à-vis employees and the environment. As early as in the 1990s, C.HAFNER already invested in state-of-the-art environmental and safety standards that not only meet the legal requirements but, in some cases, even exceed them.
