Don’t Send Your Catalytic Converters to the Junkyard: Turning Trash Into Treasure

What Makes Catalytic Converters Valuable? The full process of cleaning engine exhausts relies on the special properties of platinum group metals – palladium, platinum, and rhodium. Those metals help turn carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and unburned hydrocarbons. Those compounds create smog, particulate pollution, and more. Decades ago, federal regulations mandated that cars and light trucks have catalytic converters for that reason.

The Real Reason to Recycle - Money

The average catalytic converter has a few hundred dollars in precious metals inside. The amount will vary due to several factors. Older converters were less efficient and needed more PGMs to reach the required level of performance. Some converter models are bigger than other models, which affects the amount of PGMs inside

The Environmental Benefits

Recycling is good for the planet and good for business. Metals that are recycled prevent a good quantity of metal from being mined to meet the demand. The mining byproducts contaminate air and water. Environmentally conscious consumers will be happy to know you are doing your part to reduce waste, and the impacts of mining

Keep Catalytic Converters from a Junkyard A catalytic converter in a junkyard is a wasted opportunity. The platinum group metals in a catalytic converter are valuable and recycling them reduces the environmental impact of mining. Whether you want to sell a catalytic converter or several pallets of them, you have options.
