Which customer segment is associated with recovered gold from e-waste?

• A. Banks
• B. Government bodies
• C. Jewellery makers
• D. End consumers

Answer: (C)

The main concept is understanding who directly buys recovered gold from e-waste to turn it into finished products. Recovered gold is refined and then supplied as a raw material for manufacturing jewelry. Jewellery makers are the segment that uses this refined gold to craft pieces for sale to consumers, so they are the primary downstream customers for the recovered metal.

Banks or government bodies are involved in financing, regulation, or certification, not in the day-to-day purchase of recovered gold for production. End consumers ultimately buy the finished jewelry, but they are the final buyers, not the users of the recovered gold as a raw material.
