How To Mine Gold From Electronics | World Wide Waste

How To Mine Gold From Electronics | World Wide Waste

Electronics are chock-full of gold, but getting it out is so difficult that most of it goes to waste.A New Zealand startup has found a way to extract gold from old circuit boards using inexpensive chemicals and microbes that absorb precious metals. The founders hope it will reinvent how the world deals with e-waste.

    저 많은 전자제품 폐기물들에서 금밖에 추츨못하니까 지구는 오염될수 밖에 없군요.

    If I were a lefty I’d be accusing you of enslaving and murdering microorganisms, as I’m not, very innovative well done!

  4. Tony Silliker on January 2, 2022 at 11:07 am

    Well if there’s gold in circuit boards and electronic devices they can start F-king paying me for them as I don’t see why the hell I should make anybody else a friggin millionaire without making myself one first..
    You get nothing for nothing in this world..

    I live in auckland New Zealand and this hasn’t come into light through news and media not that I know of till now never ever heard of this Mint company. Good they are recycling and don’t have to dig up the earth

    When you look at this and see how greedy our companies are to make another Buck while destroying the Earth with pollution and garbage and waste no wonder everybody’s trying to go to another planet because they destroyed the one we living on now man is the biggest threat to Earth to anything else on Earth

  8. james perreault on January 2, 2022 at 11:14 am

    you want to stop the waste? start to nurture the population

  9. Howareya Now on January 2, 2022 at 11:17 am

    Thank you for your great contribution to us and the environment.🇨🇦🤜

    Nah what could go wrong with microscopic lifeforms that love metals. They might even have a taste for iron which would be cool like cause our blood is full of it right. So maybe mthrfkrs should stop creating living organisms before they create the last one yah?

    This is the most impressive and promising thing found in this series. Hope it takes off 🙌

    Mother Earth will kill us before we kill her.

    All kinds of trash and rubber tires are burned 24/7-365 to generate electricity so if you think electric cars are the answer your actually wrong hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are the only way

  15. Enter name here on January 2, 2022 at 11:21 am

    People want to point the finger at combustion engine automobiles but electric machines cause just as much pollution if not more the United States for example 65% of our electricity is generated from fossil fuel and coal now imagine if every citizen government organization and business relied upon electric for everything from living and work needs plus transportation it would cause more pollution than combustion engines not to mention how lithium is mined and the waste is extremely toxic

  16. molor me on January 2, 2022 at 11:21 am

    that is actually very great way to extract gold considering there is so many cricuits in garbage (including 2 arduino, 1 motherboard i fried). Only if we could somewhat make it less toxic to get gold then itll be absolutely great

  17. Hhhhhhhhhhh-gaming on January 2, 2022 at 11:24 am

    👍👍👍👍❤️

  18. Ms. Loving on January 2, 2022 at 11:25 am

    Dear precious one, please repeat after me with your whole heart, "Father God, I know I’m a sinner and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe in the Good News that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that You resurrected Him from the dead in order to restore my relationship with You. Through my belief and faith in Jesus death, burial and resurrection, I am saved.

    I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. Please guide my life and help me do Your will, Your way through the Holy Spirit. This I pray in the powerful, loving and glorious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. Amen!" ♥️

    Dear friend, may Father God our Creator, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior bless you, lead you, guide you and keep you in His abundantly loving care now and for all eternity! Amen!!! 😊🙏

    Basically what this is saying is If we make cleaning up the planet profitable, Global warming wouldn’t be a thing anymore.

    Well, I comes down to how profitable it is.
    Maybe it could just be nothing we would have to worry about for a couple more generations.

  20. Stephen valastro on January 2, 2022 at 11:27 am

    This is not clean or safe don’t be fooled. It’s all the steps that are toxic before the circuit boards are turned into that powder that are dangerous and toxic

  21. Your Local Scribe on January 2, 2022 at 11:27 am

    They could have just said the bacteria was instead of trying to keep it a secret like a bunch of sissies. Also they aren’t really recycling anything they are using nitric and extra energy to get gold and basically probably dump the toxic waste.

  22. EIQZ GT on January 2, 2022 at 11:28 am

    10-15milion phones gets thrown up every Day From humans thats atleast 10million dollars but takes so much work to get it work also costs alot

  23. Brent Groenhuizen on January 2, 2022 at 11:28 am

    And this isn’t causing global warming? Look at all that trash. Electronics made this world fucked up

    the overall cost of that type mining is way above then buying Gold from local market

    Buy fairphone and framework!

  28. Jake M on January 2, 2022 at 11:38 am

    I legit thought this was a giant in a dump

  29. Richard Kansas on January 2, 2022 at 11:38 am

    Ty Bill Gates for adopting planned obsolescence with every device your companies pump out. Looking like you owe a couple hundred billion for intentionally generating e-waste.

    …pretty sure I’ve watched YouTubers reclaim gold from electronics without polluting

    I’m glad the detritus of humanity found a living in the detritus from humanity

  41. M D on January 2, 2022 at 11:54 am

    So the poor country’s mine gold from there lands and sell it to the west who then send it back to them

  42. Fill Ups on January 2, 2022 at 11:55 am

    I’m watching this on my Blackberry Torch because I refuse to upgrade my phone.

  43. kcgunesq on January 2, 2022 at 11:56 am

    "Exporting waste is absolutely abhorrent. " So on Mr. Kiwi’s scale of horrible human behavior, we have exporting wast at the "absolutely abhorrent" level. I’d like to know where murder, rape and patent infringement fit on this horrors scale. When I hear this level of hyperbole, I immediately discount all claims about his product by at least 99%.

  44. C Lo on January 2, 2022 at 11:58 am

    Probably wouldnt have so much waste if people didnt need to buy a damn phone everytime a new version comes out to be ahead of the "trend" and the corp companies that sell them purposely making a new version every year and making the old version useless. Smdh

    The magnitude of waste !! There should be an agency for metal and electrical waste collection

  47. Ashis Roy on January 2, 2022 at 12:01 pm

    They can make bricks flowerpot or other thing with unused waste paste.

  48. Mean Potato on January 2, 2022 at 12:01 pm

    The truth is that you are all here out of greed. You are not protecting your country, and you are not here for any scientific purpose.

    Bill Gates replies: organisms are farting and this turns our planet into a hell. 😀

    Have had my iPhone 7 ever since it was released and it’s working *amazingly* fine. I see absolutely no reason to buy a new phone if my current one is working sufficiently
