#ZeroWasteAotearoa - Mine #EWaste for #gold, not beautiful landscapes

February 16, 2026

​"As a fast-track consent is sought for a major gold mine in #CentralOtago and another has already been granted in #Coromandel, #ZeroWaste #Aotearoa is calling upon the government to mine #ElectronicWaste, not beautiful landscapes, for gold and other precious metals.

"E-waste contains a significant concentration of gold, with one metric tonne of electronic waste containing up to 800 times more gold than a tonne of mined ore. While precious metals (including gold, silver, copper) make up approximately 60% of the composition of some e-waste, gold specifically is highly concentrated, with a single tonne of circuit boards containing roughly 39 grams of gold.

"#NewZealand currently generates 99,000 tonnes of e-waste every single year. Approximately 98 percent ends up in landfill or is disposed of illegally, according to the Ministry for the Environment.

" 'At present the voluntary product stewardship scheme means that we have one of the lowest rates of e-waste recovery in the world. We are literally throwing gold away into landfills while proposing to dig it up elsewhere in some of the country’s most beautiful landscapes. It is the height of madness,' says Sue Coutts of Zero Waste Aotearoa.

" 'Like many people across the country, we are gravely concerned about the environmental impact of gold mining. We think that there are much better ways to get these valuable resources – and ensure that they stay in circulation forever, not dumped in landfills.'

" 'The World Gold Council says that only 7% of gold is used in tech but 27% of worldwide gold production is already from recycling. This is more than 4 times what we need for tech – there is no valid reason to dig up any more of our precious #ecosystems.'

" '#ProductStewardship would create a pathway for a new industry: one built on resource recovery of valuable materials and a #CircularEconomy.

"NZ company #MINTInnovation relocated to #Sydney because they could tap into flows of e-waste from extended producer responsibility schemes that collect electronic waste in #Australia .

"They chose not to invest in NZ because there is no regulated e-waste scheme here. That’s $60m in turnover that will be dropping into the Australian economy every year instead of ours.

"E-waste was declared a priority product in June 2020 requiring the establishment of a regulated product stewardship scheme under the #WasteMinimisationAct. Yet six years on, a mandatory scheme is not in place and no further work is being done.

"Electronic waste, or e-waste, includes discarded electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, and televisions. E-waste is a rich source of precious metals and #RareEarth elements, including gold, #silver, #platinum, and #palladium, used in #CircuitBoards and components."

I like to discover #inspiring #artists. So I found the mirror bowl where you can destroy a chat-bot https://mastodon.online/@combs@mastodon.art/116001683426580900 - and other fascinating art machines by @combs His way of working with #organic materials, #tech, and #electronics is fascinating: https://chriscombs.net/process/

If #circuitboard has a few #ElectronicComponents, #hakunamatata, lesser or no consequences, BUT

...the #circuitboards with many, sophisticated #IC's or other #digitalelectronics' components, kindly always option removing the #EEPROM off from the #Motherboard, #inshaAllah, no damage happens!

So, while test, replacing #electroniccomponents in a #controlunit, kindly don't make assumptionsπŸ₯Ή!

Sasa, imagine NO writings on the #circuitboard to show component number nor part numberπŸ€”?

Designing my first real #smd component #circuitBoards has been fun. I finally acquiesce and got a hot air rework station and a trove of basic smd components. Not leaving through-hole behind, just expanding horizons.

Time to put my #acidEtch skillz to the test. I generally do toner transfers to "Press 'n Peel Blue" I think it's called - an excellent transfer medium.
