Catalytic converters are a component of every vehicle’s exhaust system. The job of a catalytic converter is to speed the oxidation rate of harmful hydrocarbons produced by combustion engines. This results in cleaner exhaust being emitted and less pollution in our air.

The core of a catalytic converter consists of a ceramic honeycomb material or ceramic beads or metal foil structure. This material is porous and coated with precious metals such as Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium. In addition to the value of the metals themselves, it is important that catalytic materials do not end up in landfills or the environment, as these metals could leach into our soil or groundwater. These metals are recycled for their valuable applications in many industries. The recycling of these materials is crucial to offset further mining.

We take great care to identify the level of these metals within a material and compensate you appropriately.
