Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) are mined in vast quantities all over the world. This totals almost 500 tons each year. It includes platinum, palladium, and rhodium with a growing proportion of PGMs recovered from the recycling process of automotive catalysts, electronic waste (printed circuit boards).
Metals are highly recyclable materials that may be processed in a variety of ways. Global environmental concern is growing, as is the need to recycle as much waste as possible. This especially applies to products that might otherwise end up in landfills.

After receiving the catalytic converters, we remove the ceramic or metal core by removing it from the metal shell with special, purpose-made de-canning machines.
After the cores have been extracted from the shells, the core is processed further. For the ceramic core, the crushing method is applied to crush the extracted material into a fine dust. The metal core is shredded.
After the material has been crushed, a certain sample of the batch is taken and analyzed for the amount of metals contained within a certain measuring unit. In our facility, we conduct primary XRF and secondary ICP analyses.
After having analyzed the sample, we evaluate the value of the batch according to the current precious metal market value and make a proposition for
Our database contains thousands of catalytic converters with photos, that were analysed using the best available technology to provide the most accurate results. It is constantly updated with new units added daily.
