皇家鑄幣廠開始處理電子廢物，從舊手機和電腦中提取黃金

電子垃圾，包括從舊手機、電腦到電視的所有物品，是一個迅速增長的問題 - 聯合國稱 2022 年將有 6200 萬噸被扔掉。

The Royal Mint, best known for making the UK's coins, has now started processing electronic waste to extract gold from it.

以製造英國硬幣而聞名的皇家造幣廠現在已開始處理電子廢物以從中提取黃金。

E-waste, which includes anything from old phones and computers to TVs, is a rapidly growing problem - the UN says 62m tonnes were thrown away in 2022.

電子垃圾，包括從舊手機、電腦到電視的所有物品，是一個迅速增長的問題 - 聯合國稱 2022 年將有 6200 萬噸被扔掉。

At the Royal Mint plant, piles of circuit boards are being fed into the new facility.

在皇家造幣廠，成堆的電路板正在被送入新工廠。

“Traditional gold recovery processes are very energy intensive and use very toxic chemicals that can only be used once, or they go to high energy smelters and they’re basically burnt,” says Leighton John, the Royal Mint's operations director.

「傳統的黃金回收工藝非常耗能，並且使用只能使用一次的劇毒化學品，或者它們會被送往高能冶煉廠，基本上會被燒毀，」皇家造幣廠營運總監 Leighton John 說。
