A catalytic converter is a vital part of a vehicle’s exhaust system, containing precious metals like platinum and palladium. Moreover, recycling catalytic converters is crucial for resource conservation, reducing environmental impact, and complying with regulations. By recycling, it allows for the recovery of valuable metals and prevents harmful pollutants from ending up in landfills. Consequently, this process not only benefits the environment but also ensures adherence to legal standards.
The most popular catalytic converters are from the famous producers as BMW, Mercedes Benz, Toyota, VW/Audi, General motors, Nissan, Mazda, Ford or Peugeot/Citroen producers. Mostly they are marked by codes on the catalytic converters cover: KT1132, KT0148, KT0145, 1741032, 2119560, K181, GM28, GM45, X3, 8D0178, 1J0178AADA, U88, C152, BM7, 9497818, 306169491, 9458454, S715E211CE, L813, DAL, L810, GD3, EA6.
Catalytic converter commonly contain precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which serve as catalysts to reduce emissions. In the recycling process, these metals are extracted through specialized techniques, contributing to resource conservation and minimizing the need for new mining and extraction.
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are essential components in electronic devices, serving as the foundation for various electronic connections and components. Moreover, recycling PCBs is crucial to recover valuable materials like gold, silver, and copper. Additionally, this process minimizes electronic waste, conserves resources, and promotes sustainability in the electronics manufacturing industry. Consequently, recycling PCBs not only supports environmental conservation but also contributes to a more sustainable and efficient production cycle.
The primary difference between a ceramic and a metallic catalytic converter lies in the composition of the substrate material. Ceramic catalytic converters typically use a ceramic honeycomb structure, while metallic catalytic converters utilize a metallic substrate. The choice between the two depends on factors such as cost, performance, and application requirements.
We purchase catalytic converter, PCBs, and non-ferrous metals from both individuals and businesses.
Resource Conservation: Recycling catalytic converters, PCBs, and non-ferrous metals conserves valuable resources such as precious metals and reduces the demand for new raw materials.
Energy Savings: Additionally, the recycling process typically requires less energy than extracting and refining raw materials, contributing to overall energy conservation.
Reduced Environmental Impact: Furthermore, by recycling these components, we minimize the environmental impact associated with mining and processing, including habitat disruption and water and air pollution.
Waste Reduction: Moreover, recycling prevents catalytic converters, PCBs, and non-ferrous metals from ending up in landfills, reducing the overall volume of waste and preventing potential environmental harm.
Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Consequently, the recycling process generally generates fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to the extraction and processing of new materials, helping mitigate climate change.
We provide pick-up services depending on the quantity of the materials. For each case, please contact our purchase managers for more details. Additionally, we collaborate with Posti, making it easy to post or ship batches of any size from different locations to our warehouse in Tampere.
We purchase and recycle Automotive Copper Wires, Copper Wires with PVC isolation, Copper Scrap, Car Generators, Car Starters, Electric Motors, Aluminum MIX, Aluminum Car Rims, Aluminum Castings, Aluminum Car Radiators, Lead Scrap (clean), and batteries from vehicles. Additionally, our comprehensive recycling program ensures that each material is processed efficiently and responsibly. Moreover, by choosing our services, you contribute to environmental sustainability and resource conservation.
To prepare vehicle parts for scrap metal recycling, ensure they are clean and free from any non-metal components like rubber, plastic, or fluids. It’s important to drain all fluids, such as oil and coolant, and remove any parts that are not metal. Properly sorted and prepared metal parts will help facilitate the recycling process and maximize the value of the scrap.
Recycling vehicle parts as scrap metal is environmentally friendly and helps conserve natural resources. Furthermore, it reduces the need for new metal extraction, lowers energy consumption, and decreases landfill waste. Additionally, recycling scrap metal can provide financial benefits through the resale of valuable materials like aluminum, steel, and copper. Consequently, this practice not only supports environmental sustainability but also offers economic advantages.
