Previously used precious metals products to be referred as as ‘repurposed’ rather than ‘recycled.: Signet Jewelers

US-based Signet Jewelers will now refer to previously used precious metals products as ‘repurposed’ rather than ‘recycled.’ This is a notable shift in terminology away from a common but controversial term.

There is no commonly accepted definition for recycled gold, and its use has generated criticism in the past because of ambiguity.A spokesperson for Signet Jewelers told JCK Online that because gold is rarely a waste product, the word ‘recycled’ was deemed inappropriate.

“Signet aligned on using repurposed as our terminology and not using recycled because recycled should really only apply to products intentionally diverted from a waste stream,” the spokesperson said.“And gold is rarely, if ever, part of a waste stream.”
