The Swiss Throw Away Millions Every Year

Did you know that millions of euros are thrown down the drain
in Switzerland every year?
Researchers last year detected 3 tonnes of silver and 43 kg of
gold in waste water. This amounts to around 3 million Swiss
francs ($3.1 million).
The tiny particles are likely to be from the watchmaking,
pharmaceuticals and chemical industries, which use the metals
in their products and processes.
The levels of gold or silver are very small, but when you add
them up it’s pretty substantial.
