- The silverware
industry produces liquid and solid scrap. Most of the liquid waste is
produced by the silver plating segment of the industry. Solid wastes are
mostly from the production of sterling ware.
- Catalyst
formulations are closely held proprietary technology. Silver-bearing
scrap generated during the early stages of the catalyst production
process is simply returned to the process.
- Scrap that is
generated at a later stage of the process, such as end-of-life catalysts
or a substrate that has already been coated with silver, is usually sent
to a toll refiner for the recovery of silver.
- Companies that
manufacture semi finished and final products that contain silver and
other precious metals reprocess virtually all scrap generated for
precious-metals recovery.
- Silver scrap is
generated primarily in the industrialized countries, which indicates
that demand for silver is skewed toward industrial nations. Also,
silver-bearing scrap is mostly from electronics and photographic
sources.
- The Supply of Silver
is based on two facts, mine production and recycled Silver scraps.
Fifteen countries produce roughly 94 percent of the worlds Silver from
mines.
- he most notable
producers are Mexico, Peru, the United States, Canada and Australia.
Mexico, the largest producer of Silver from mines.
- The supply of Silver
grew only marginally, but the total supply of Silver from scrap has
increased dramatically in the last decade as more advanced methods of
recycling has been developed.
- Recycled silver
scrap is the second largest source of silver, totalling about 20 per
cent of global supply.
