Refinery-Direct
Converter Recycling
Elemental North America and its subsidiaries are proud to be the only catalytic converter recyclers in the U.S. that own the entire recycling process – including refining and smelting – to better serve our suppliers.
End-to-End Recycling
Our state-of-the-art recycling facilities, combined with our smelter and refinery, allow us to carry out the entire recycling process comprehensively, transforming waste into finished precious metals, ready for use.
More Than Just Converters
Catalytic converters are our main focus, but that’s not all we do. We also recycle:
- Lithium-ion batteries (Elemental built the EU’s first electric car battery recycling plant)
- E-waste
- Wheels
- Foil catalyst
- O2 sensors
- Other non-ferrous waste
Let us assist with your metal recycling needs, and together we can contribute to a more sustainable future.
Environmental Responsibility
Now more than ever, protecting the earth is a responsibility that we all share, which is why we are committed to the most sustainable practices throughout our entire recycling process. We collaborate with environmental authorities to align our actions with local climate strategy goals.
Platinum, palladium, and rhodium are some of the most versatile metals in the world, and also some of the rarest. Recycling these precious metals helps reduce the need for mining, protecting our earth’s natural resources.
Our streamlined process ensures a smooth and efficient experience from start to finish, making it easy for you to recycle your materials with confidence.
After discussing specific project terms and requirements, we begin preparing to receive your lot as quickly and seamlessly as possible.
We use our industry-leading technology to decan material and prepare it for sampling.
Material is sampled to accurately determine its precious metal content.
Assaying uses ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) for precise analysis and quantification of precious metals.
Once the value of material is determined, we promptly settle payment according to the original terms, ensuring a fair and transparent transaction.
