Sustainability
Sustainable.
Adaptable.
Renewable.
Sustainability is the heart of what we do. This begins with our service, providing a viable, innovative, low-carbon method of extracting precious metals from end-of-life e-waste products. But it also extends beyond that to the very foundations of the business, from our greener energy powered facility to our ongoing commitment to sustainability in conjunction with the UNSDGs.
Transforming the end-of-life cycle for e-waste
We take your e-waste and use a groundbreaking new approach to extract 99% of gold. Using chemistry at ambient temperatures, we have drastically cut the carbon emissions of precious metals extraction. By offering a UK-based solution, we’re also cutting carbon from export logistics.
Clean-tech powered by greener energy
The Royal Mint’s Reformation Metals facility is powered by a Local Energy Centre. This means we can generate 70% of our own energy sustainably. This reduces our reliance on the national grid, lowers our carbon emissions, and helps manage our energy costs.

Our commitment to
a sustainable future
Sustainability sits at the heart of our business. Within the ‘Sustainable Future’ pillar of our framework, sits ‘Net Zero Carbon’. In 2023, The Royal Mint became the first sovereign mint to achieve validation of their carbon emissions by the SBTi (Science Based Target Initiative).
We’re showcasing a different, more sustainable approach to obtaining and safeguarding a finite resource – gold.Inga DoakHead of Sustainability, The Royal Mint
