Description

At an unidentified industrial location we see large amounts of scrap film being collected and shovelled into a furnace. The resulting ashes are then processed for their silver content which is shown in both molten and bullion forms.

The facility appears to be destroying a lot of 35mm film as well as television material (BBC and Rediffusion tins are visible).
