Automotive catalytic converters are a key source of platinum group metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium, widely used in the automotive industry to reduce emissions.
We work with suppliers and industrial buyers to ensure structured transactions and optimal value recovery across global markets.
Ceramic Catalysts
Ceramic catalysts are based on honeycomb monolith structures coated with platinum, palladium and rhodium.
They are the most common type in passenger vehicles and vary significantly depending on origin, condition and usage.
We work with both intact units and pre-processed material, ensuring proper classification, accurate sampling and reliable valuation based on real metal content.
Metal foil catalysts
Metallic catalysts use a metal foil substrate instead of ceramic, making them structurally more durable and typically more complex to process.
They are often found in higher-performance or specialized applications.
Due to their construction and composition, these materials require precise identification and coordinated processing through specialized refining partners.
Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF)
DPFs are emission control components used in diesel vehicles to capture particulate matter.
In addition to ceramic structures, they may contain recoverable precious metals depending on type and application.
Their valuation is more complex and depends on internal composition, contamination level and prior usage, requiring structured handling and careful assessment.
Oxygen (Lambda) Sensors
Lambda sensors are electronic components used to monitor and regulate fuel-air mixture in engines.
Although small in size, they contain valuable materials that can be recovered through specialized processes.
We handle bulk quantities and ensure proper aggregation, classification and routing to appropriate processing channels.
