Vermont Recycler Registers a patent for a method of making 100 percent recycled content wedding rings from recycled PCs.
Good Point Recycling made public its new provisional patent for "recycled-content" gold wedding bands.
"We started off just looking at ways to make computer recycling less expensive, and that led us to recovery of gold and copper from the computers," said Robin Ingenthron, founder of Good Point Recycling. "When we found out how much cleaner recycled gold is than mined gold, we were determined to do more and more of it."
By creating demand for gold recycling here in the USA, Ingenthron hopes to deal another blow to low-ball recyclers. "If Americans make this one environmental purchase, the free market will steer recycling back where it should be", he asserts. A new "Gold Recycling Test" has been published on Good Point Recycling's website, www.retroworks.com.
Good Point Recycling is owned and operated by American Retroworks Inc.
