Gold IS recycled- it is too expensive NOT to recycle. But please remember- recycling does NOT create new material of any kind. If you want MORE of a thing, recycling does not provide that. Example- you are graduating from school, and want a gold class ring. Perhaps your grandfather's class ring could be recycled, to make your ring. But where will your brother and sister get THEIR rings? You need additional gold- and that comes from mining.
