As the official maker of UK coins, The Royal Mint boasts a 1,100-year heritage in coin manufacturing and engineering. It’s also believed to be one of our nation’s oldest businesses. Owned by His Majesty’s Treasury, the company produces coins, medals, and precious metal products, alongside offering investment opportunities in gold and silver.
As one of the world’s fastest-growing waste streams, expected to reach 82 million tonnes by 2030, e-waste poses a significant challenge. But The Royal Mint’s multi-million-pound, 35-acre site in South Wales is at the cutting edge of maximising the untapped resource value of WEEE, with a groundbreaking processing line that extracts gold and other precious metals from printed circuit boards found in discarded electronics.. The recovered gold is transformed into jewellery for The Royal Mint’s luxury jewellery collection, 886 by The Royal Mint. They are developing a closed-loop approach that reduces its carbon footprint and minimises reliance on mined materials.
