PX Precinox

Swiss precision precious metal refining ensuring the highest purity and ethical standards for recovered metals.

PX Precinox SA (PRX), a company in the PX Group, brings the quality and luxury of Swiss products to the RETURN project. PRX is based in La Chaux-de-Fonds. It is a world-renowned refiner of precious metals. It serves the demanding requirements of the Swiss watchmaking, jewelry, and medical device industries.

In the RETURN ecosystem, PRX is in charge of making sure everything is up to standard. They are responsible for improving the precious metal concentrates produced by the DES process, making sure they meet the “Good Delivery” standards required by global markets. Their involvement shows that metals recovered from e-waste can meet the strict purity standards of luxury goods. This proves that recycled materials are just as good as new materials.

PRX is also a leader in ethical sourcing through its “PX Impact” initiative. By using RETURN’s low-carbon metals, which can be traced back to their origin, they are setting a new standard for “responsible gold.” They show that a closed-loop model, where waste from electronics is transformed into the raw material for high-end luxury craftsmanship, is possible.
