Hello everyone
Finally we did our calculation, the buissnessplan and the organigramm. We will publish these three things in two parts.
Everything is to be considered as if we were founding a company. Of course everything is only fictitious.
The calculation was not very easy because it is very difficult to find the exact number of grams of material in a necklace. Because of this, we did the whole thing in a text.
In any case, we assume that a neckless is made of 18ct, which corresponds to 3.6 g yellow gold. Carat describes the density of fine gold. In the picture below we describe how the process of winning gold might look like. If we now assume that these chains are sold ten times, the effort is logically ten times greater. On the picture you can also see a truck that transports rock. From one ton of rock 3-5 grams of gold can be processed. Let us assume that a ring with 3 grams of gold needs one ton. For 10 rings, it takes six tons of rock. Suppose a truck can transport one ton and has to go this way six times. By driving less, you can avoid producing less CO2, which is better for the environment.
