        Aren’t they buying our waste to extract the precious metals? So now we basically sell the waste to them pre-extracted

          Mint is only interested in one metal.

          Others exist in e waste. Somi assume it would just be reduced price.

          Of course I am in no way agreeing the exporting of dangerous heavy metal waste etc is a good thing. Just not likely completely unwanted.

    …but not any other materials? Sounds wasteful.

      Of course not that’s ridiculous, they make Royal® Brand Mints! They need gold for the wrapper foil. After all choosy Royals Choose Royal®’s!
