Catalytic converter recycling involves the process of recovering valuable metals from used or old catalytic converters, which are components found in vehicle exhaust systems. These converters contain precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which help reduce harmful emissions. When a vehicle reaches the end of its life or requires an upgraded catalytic converter, the old converter can be removed and sent to recycling facilities. The recycling process includes extracting these precious metals and refining them for reuse in new catalytic converters or other industrial applications. Catalytic converter recycling helps conserve natural resources, reduces the need for mining, and supports environmental sustainability by ensuring these valuable materials are repurposed rather than disposed of. It is a key part of the broader automotive recycling industry.
