Recycled silver and gold
2025 marks the first full year where all new Pandora jewellery is crafted exclusively with 100% recycled silver and gold – a major milestone in our circularity journey. Together with our commitment to use only man-made stones, this marks a decisive shift toward circular and innovative material sourcing, reducing reliance on newly mined metals and mined gemstones.
By sourcing recycled instead of newly-mined silver and gold, Pandora avoids around 58,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is similar to the emissions from the annual electricity use of 11,000 homes or driving 6,000 cars around the world.
To be able to source and trace our purchase and use of recycled silver and gold, we request that relevant suppliers are externally audited according to recognised Chain of Custody (CoC) standards. A CoC is a traceability-focused materials management system, helping both suppliers and Pandora document that the certified recycled silver and gold grains purchased are also the grains used in our crafting.
