Precious-metal recovery across the industrial economy

From the vehicles on our roads to the electronics in our hands and the clean-energy systems of the future, we recover the precious metals industry depends on.

Ten Sectors We Serve

Tailored recovery for every industry

Each sector generates distinct precious-metal-bearing materials — and we've optimized recovery routes for all of them.

Automotive

The automotive sector is the largest consumer of platinum, palladium, and rhodium, all used in catalytic converters. We recover these metals from end-of-life autocatalysts and return them to fresh catalyst manufacture, closing a critical material loop.

Metals recovered

Chemical

Chemical manufacturers rely on precious-metal catalysts for hydrogenation, oxidation, and synthesis. We recover metal from spent catalysts, filter cakes, and process residues, helping producers recapture value and manage residues responsibly.

Petrochemical

Petrochemical refining uses platinum-bearing catalysts for reforming and other conversions. We recover platinum and rhenium-associated values from spent reforming catalysts, supporting cost efficiency and sustainability in the sector.

Metals recovered

Electronics

Electronic devices concentrate gold, silver, palladium, and ruthenium in boards, connectors, and components. We recover these metals from electronic scrap, turning fast-growing e-waste into a valuable secondary supply.

Jewellery

Jewellery manufacturing and retail generate scrap, filings, and polishing sweeps rich in gold, silver, and platinum. We refine these materials to fine metal, returning value accurately through precise assay.

Metals recovered

Pharmaceutical

Pharmaceutical synthesis makes extensive use of palladium and platinum catalysts for cross-coupling and hydrogenation. We recover precious metals from spent catalysts and residues under strict handling and documentation protocols.

Metals recovered

Mining

Mining operations generate residues and concentrates containing recoverable precious metals. We process these materials to extract remaining value, complementing primary production with efficient secondary recovery.

Research Laboratories

Research and analytical laboratories accumulate precious-metal crucibles, electrodes, spent catalysts, and chemical residues. We recover and refine these materials, returning value while ensuring safe, documented processing.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing processes generate plating residues, sweeps, and off-spec material containing precious metals. We help manufacturers recover this embedded value and integrate recovery into their sustainability programs.

Energy

Clean-energy technologies — fuel cells, PEM electrolyzers, and photovoltaics — depend on platinum, iridium, and silver. We recover these critical metals from end-of-life energy equipment, supporting a sustainable clean-energy supply chain.
